Trails
Access to the ocean enriches our hands-on research approach, and our natural laboratory includes walking access to miles of coastal habitat (rocky intertidal, cobble beach, soft sediment, and subtidal eelgrass), as well as water access to exposed rocky environments and the Kennebec and New Meadows estuaries.
