I am excited to announce the National Aquatic eDNA Strategy. This strategy will accelerate the progress of fast, low-cost, and effective technologies for studying life in the ocean and how it’s changing. 🌊🧬 whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…
📣 Upcoming Event 📣 Alewife will be flowing through Maine waterways on their annual spawning run soon! Join us & Presumpscot Regional Land Trust on a guided walk along their migration route! 🗓️ June 4 🕙 10 AM 📍Mill Brook Preserve Save your spot: gmri.org/events/alewife…
Absolutely rolling about being the subject of a ‘seen on campus’ snap. Does this make a Nalgene carboy the Stanley mug for researchers?
#eDNA sampling getting more and more efficient! Thanks @JonahVentures for sharing the Baleen eDNA Filtering System for @LasleyRasher lab to test out in the field. Great setup and easy to use on a boat, too!
Due to climate change and warming waters, some native species are expanding north of their historical ranges. This MASSIVE blue crab was given to GMRI by a lobsterman who caught it in a lobster trap off Cliff Island in Casco Bay. 🧵 (1/2)
Colorful surprise catch in Casco Bay - a blue runner. Perhaps a tourist from the Gulf Stream? #CascoBay #GulfofMaine #AtlanticOcean
Field season means a backseat full of tilts: the new lab toy @Lowell_Inst tilt current meter and the head tilt master, Huckleberry 🐾
The new @NatGeoTV film, ‘Return of the White Shark,’ produced by @Brian_Skerry with Sealight Pictures debuts this weekend and focuses on the great white sharks around Cape Cod Premiers: @DisneyPlus July 2nd National Geographic Channel July 3rd at 9pm ET
First field deployment of the passive #eDNA metaprobe sampler! Excited to add this tool to our summer surveys 🧬
Attention commercial seafood harvesters: Help @NOAAFisheries, @UMaine, and @USDA understand how fishermen market their catch by participating in this survey: bit.ly/3NRy40X. Survey ends June 2023. 📸: University of Maine/Jordan Richardson.
No better way to celebrate #InternationalWomensDay than chatting with the future!! We had an energetic session with an amazing @GirlScoutsofME group amped up for #STEM 🧬🌊🐟🔬
New coastal ecosystem ecology #postdoc position available at @GMRI. Great opportunity to work in two beautiful Maine areas, Portland and Harpswell. recruiting.paylocity.com/recruiting/job…
NEW: With an annual average sea surface temperature (SST) of 53.66°F, the Gulf of Maine experienced its second-warmest year on record in 2022. This year fell 0.43°F short of the previous warmest year on record—2021—but broke other records. 🧵 Read more: gmri.org/stories/warmin…
Passive #eDNA sampling here we come! First #metaprobe printed by the MIST lab @CSTHatUSM. Thanks for the design @GiuliaMaiello04 and @erika_neave 🧬🧬
Periodic salp blooms often go undetected and are rarely included in measurements of the ocean's biological carbon pump (BCP). A new study finds salps have unique and important effects on ocean biogeochemistry and can dramatically increase BCP efficiency. ow.ly/iqUg50MytuZ
