The Three Seas Program, based at Northeastern University, offers undergraduate and graduate students in marine biology the opportunity to study, conduct research, and get wet in three different marine ecosystems: the northwest Atlantic Ocean (Nahant, Massachusetts), the Caribbean Sea (Bocas del Toro, Panama), and the northeastern Pacific (Friday Harbor, Washington).

Gulf Challenger cruise 2010
Hello, and welcome to Fall 2010! The Marine Ecology class headed out yesterday on our annual oceanographic cruise. For the second year in a row, we spent a great 1/2 day on the R/V Gulf Challenger out of New Castle, New Hampshire, and we made CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth), light, fluorescence, and oxygen measurements at three stations, one offshore and two in the Piscataqua River and Great Bay Estuary.
