PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - A team of 20 researchers will scour docks and piers along the Maine coast in search of nonnative plants and animals that could harm the marine environment.
The project begins Saturday and brings together scientists from the U.S., the Netherlands, Brazil and Canada. They will inspect permanently floating docks and piers in Wells, South Portland, Portland, Freeport, Walpole, Boothbay, Rockland and Camden.
The project is coordinated by the MIT Sea Grant program, with assistance from the Casco Bay Estuary Partnership and the Massachusetts Bays Program.
