Gulf of Maine

The Gulf of Maine is a large, deep body of water located between the northeastern coast of the United States, including Maine, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Known for its productive fisheries, it features cold, nutrient-rich waters that support diverse marine life like lobsters, cod, and whales. The Gulf experiences seasonal variations in temperature and mixing, influencing local ecosystems and fishing industries. Its unique shape and circulation patterns also make it sensitive to climate change, affecting ocean temperatures and marine habitats over time.
