Since 2008, Maine Sea Grant has hosted a research symposium every two years that includes research presentations and discussions. Sea Grant researchers who are completing recent projects will briefly discuss their outcomes and the Sea Grant researchers newly funded through our biennial competition will discuss the goals and objectives of their new projects. It also features a poster session with local seafood and plenty of time for networking to encourage new collaborations and partnerships among Maine’s research institutions, industry groups, coastal communities, and educational organizations.
