Maine Maritime Academy welcomed a team of oceanographic researchers to campus this week as part of an educational cooperative with the University of New Hampshire (UNH), Durham, N.H. The research team consists of faculty and students from the University’s Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (CCOM), and members of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Joint Hydrographic Center (JHC) based at the University. The CCOM-JHC conducts a variety of seafloor mapping research projects in partnership with NOAA. This year, the group is conducting a bathymetric survey of the Bagaduce River and Castine Harbor. The study is scheduled to take place through Saturday, June 21.
