About this Event

Coastal economies in the Gulf of Maine are entering a phase of accelerated opportunity while undergoing a multitude of social and environmental changes.

During this lecture, a GMRI expert and a key collaborator on this initiative will present how we are strengthening the blue economy and stewarding working waterfronts by supporting workforce development, investment, and waterfront access. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.

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.

This event will feature our Chief Community Officer, Jonathan Labaree, and Graham McKay, Executive Director, Lowell's Boat Shop.
