Last week, our scientists set sail on an annual research cruise to support the Gulf of Maine #redtide forecast.

Stay tuned to follow their journey. Learn more about the forecast: https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/science-areas/habs/hab-forecasts/gulf-of-maine-alexandrium-catenella-predictive-models/
