The Center for Teaching and Learning in Edgecomb participated in our chapter's regional Mathcounts competition at Kennebec Valley Community College on Saturday, January 28, and won several high honors. Middle schoolers Jojo Shea, Gigi Sato-...

No dead right whales have been spotted. Fifteen calves were born — the second-largest number since 2015. And observers were impressed by the saga of one whale, a mother who, injured and entangled in fishing gear, managed to escort her calf a thousand miles up the coast

Over the past 18 years the Gulf of Maine has been one of the most rapidly warming parts of the world ocean, a threat to a body of water that’s home to many cold-water species already living at the southerly edge of their range.

Average sea surface temperatures were 4.2 degrees above the long-term averages from before 2012, when ocean 'heat waves' became commonplace, continuing changes in the gulf ecosystem.

The suspense was finally over. Now the lobstermen of Vinalhaven had to face new federal rules that could threaten their livelihood. Despair came first, then decision time.

A new center is using cutting-edge artificial intelligence algorithms to forecast ocean activity, from toxic algal blooms to right whale migration, with hopes of benefitting both coastal industries and the environment.

MARSHFIELD — Their tentacles can stretch dozens of feet. The bell on top is often the size of a dinner plate and is usually a reddish-brown color. They drift along in the Atlantic waters off New England. And they sting. Beachgoers along the coasts of Massachusetts last year began reporting a high number of sightings of lions mane jellyfish, one of the largest kinds of jellyfish.
