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).

Quoddy Head
This past week, we all drove from Nahant to Downeast Maine on our annual field trip to Quoddy Head and Cobscook Bay. As in previous years, we surveyed transects to evaluate tide-height distributions of seaweeds and invertebrates at a wave-exposed and wave-protected site. We also checked out lots of cool invertebrates, hiked to a boreal bog, scavenged for amazing algae as part of the Marine Botany course, and worked on some of our experimental biodiversity manipulations in the area.
