Boothbay’s Bigelow Laboratory expands to spur future of marine science

TIMES RECORD • January 27, 2025

Successful conservation and discovery efforts require an all-hands-on-deck approach. 

With this in mind, the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences has appointed its first marine educator, Aislyn Keyes, to oversee its burgeoning suite of educational programs and to inspire the next generation of scientists. Charting the course, Bigelow embraces an education expansion — a new 25,000-square-foot wing — and plans to reach more students and educators statewide.
