Description
BOEM Cooperative Agreement M19AC00022 supported collection and analysis of samples from the Wilkinson Basin Time Series (WBTS) and Coastal Maine Time Series (CMTS) stations as part of the NERACOOS Integrated Sentinel Monitoring Network (ISMN) Gulf of Maine MBON project. The WBTS and CMTS stations are strategically located in the Western Gulf of Maine to monitor planktonic ecosystem characteristics in the Maine Coastal Current, a regional production driver, and in Wilkinson Basin, the primary overwintering habitat for the energy-rich foundation species, the planktonic copepod Calanus finmarchicus, that supports the Gulf of Maine subarctic food web and its ecosystem services.
