An interactive event with GMRI Municipal Climate Action Program Manager, Gayle Bowness, and Island Institute Senior Scientist, Susie Arnold
About this Event

The Gulf of Maine is warming faster than many of the world’s oceans, but its productivity is driven by a unique combination of factors—global currents, ocean floor, and more—that create a dynamic and resilient environment. This complexity could be the key to its ability to withstand climate change. Similarly, the coastal communities along its shores have demonstrated remarkable resilience, adapting to change and overcoming challenges with determination.
The Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI), alongside our partners, is committed to building on this resilience in both the ecosystem and the people who call it home. This fall’s Sea State series will explore our efforts to foster resilience and share reasons for optimism about the Gulf’s future and the communities that rely on it.
GMRI is focused on making Maine the most climate-ready state in the nation. That goal starts at the community level, and is a highly collaborative effort. GMRI expert, Gayle Bowness, Municipal Climate Action Program Manager, will talk about the importance of supporting community-driven action in Maine, and how you and your community can prepare for the impacts of sea level rise. Gayle will be joined by Susie Arnold, Senior Ocean Scientist at the Island Institute, who will talk about her work on the science of hope in a rapidly changing climate.
Doors will open at 5:30 pm with complimentary refreshments available and the program will begin at 6:00 pm. Free parking is available for all registered attendees in the lot adjacent to our building.
