Several groups in Maine are looking for potential sites for an ocean monitoring station off the Down East coast. The Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (NERACOOS) received $3.4 million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration last month to fund the ocean data work to help the region’s maritime industry. The award is part of a five-year program that will set up monitoring stations between Boothbay Harbor and the St. Croix River.
