Tides of Change: Innovation at the Gloucester Marine Station



Last week, I had the honor of visiting the UMass Amherst Gloucester Marine Station with Secretary of Economic Development Yvonne Hao, Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante, Dr. Katie Kahl GMS Director, UMass CNS Dean Mike Fox, and Chris Dunn, Associate Vice Chancellor of Government Relations at UMass.

Seeing their cutting-edge research firsthand highlights the station's vital role in understanding our marine environment and in supporting the Blue Economy. 

We had a productive discussion on how we can continue to support this critical work and about the upcoming and future renovations. 

Thank you, once again, to UMass Amherst and the Gloucester Marine Station for another informative tour.

Thank you also to Secretary Hao for taking the time to meet with us in Gloucester! 
Wishing you much success in your next endeavors - it was an honor working together on long-term, sustainable economic development solutions for the Commonwealth!/
