<p align="left"><font face="tahoma" size="2"></font> </p></font>
<p align="left"><font size="2">The rich productivity and magnificence of the Gulf of Maine have been inextricably </font><font size="2">woven into the fabric of life across New England and Maritime Canada over the course </font><font size="2">of generations, with connections across the entire North Atlantic rim. Looking forward </font><font size="2">into the 21st century, the Gulf of Maine bioregion stands on the threshold of a new era of </font><font size="2">maritime innovation with enormous global implications. Traditional marine industries </font><font size="2">will be challenged to think strategically and creatively about how to minimize their </font><font size="2">impacts on the ocean environment, while maximizing economic returns. New </font><font size="2">opportunities will emerge to harness the ocean's productive capacity to meet global </font><font size="2">demands for healthy protein, medicines, and energy. Digital media will change the way </font><font size="2">our children interact with science and the world around them. Amid this rapidly changing </font><font size="2">environment, the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) will serve as a catalyst to </font><font size="2">realize the region's ecologic and economic potential.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font size="2">The Chief Operating Officer (COO) will work with GMRI's President and Management </font><font size="2">Team to implement GMRI's strategic plan.
