Gordon Maguire

Gordon Maguire, class of 2026, is an undergraduate student at the College of the Atlantic. He is working towards a degree in Human Ecology, aiming to understand the complex relationship between humans and the world. He focuses strongly on marine mammals and tries to learn all the diverse ways they can be studied. His eventual goal after COA is to work towards a PhD and become a marine mammal biologist. In the Gulf of Maine at the Edward McC. Blair Marine Research Station on Mount Desert Rock, Gordon studied harbor seal and grey seal fecal matter looking for microplastics. With the assistance of the Maine Sea Grant Scholarship, Gordon will be able to use the money to help finance this project.

Gordon is a 2024 Maine Sea Grant Undergraduate Scholar.
