The Political Context The United States and Canada are at an impasse over plans by American developers to introduce a new supply of liquefied natural gas ("LNG") into the United States through proposed port terminals along the Saint Croix Riv- er, which runs between the Province of New Brunswick and the State of Maine. The disagreement implicates the law and politics surrounding a new source of clean energy for the region, maritime security, Native American tribal sovereignty, marine environmental protection in the unique Bay of Fundy, bilateral economic relations, and high-level diplomacy between Ot- tawa and Washington.

  • Captainss Quarters (A Virtual Speaker Series) Is a Big Hit!
    Spring 2021 Captains’ Quarters (a virtual speaker series) is a Big hit! With many of our members unable to visit this past year, we worked hard to find ways to bring our museum directly to you —no matter where you are located. We were one of the first museums to offer virtual tours last spring (you can still access those on our web- site!); and this winter we introduced the Captains’ Quarters, a virtual speaker series for listeners around the country. Captains, crew, and passengers from many of our local windjammers have joined Capt Jim Sharp (museum co-founder) from all over the country to share photos, stories, and histories of these great vessels. Many started as cargo ships, some are on the National Register of Historic Places, some were built specifically for passengers, and one even graces the front of US currency (the quarter), representing the maritime heritage of the state of Maine. If you missed a session and want to catch up, they are all on our YouTube channel … links can be found on The “Music and Calendar” page of our website. Stay tuned as we continue to build this wonderful library of oral histories. Some of the boats featured are shown below and on Page 3.

ABSTRACT North Atlantic right whale monitoring in Roseway Basin, Canada, is primarily based on short-term (<14 d) visual surveys conducted during August–September. Variability in survey effort has been the biggest limiting factor to studying changes in the population’s occurrence and habitat use. Such efforts could be enhanced considerably using passive acoustic monitoring (PAM). We sought to determine if variation in whale presence, relative abundance, demography, and/or behavior (estimated through visual surveys) could be explained by variation in three right whale call types in this habitat.
