WICKED LOCAL (Provincetown, MA) • October 24, 2020

Understanding changes in plankton in water helps scientists understand North Atlantic right whales. A new agreement between NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center, the Marine Biological Association in Plymouth, England and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will allow a plankton survey to resume. The survey was originally conducted across the Gulf of Maine from 1961 to 2017.
