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).

Fall in New England
Greetings from Lubec, Maine! We - the Three Seas students, faculty, TAs, and friends - are spending a week at the easternmost point in the U.S., conducting surveys of the local benthic flora and fauna. We are 1/3 of the way through the New England portion of the year, and students are taking courses in diving research methods, marine ecology, experimental design, invertebrate zoology, marine botany, and molecular ecology and evolution. Highlights of the fall have included sunny weather in Nahant, the annual departmental clambake, a cruise on the R/V Gulf Challenger out of Portsmouth, and our current excursion to Maine.
