Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) is a nonprofit organization based in Portland, Maine, that operates in the marine science and research services sector. It pursues collaborative work across science, education, and community engagement to address ocean-related challenges and inform decision-making in fisheries and coastal management. GMRI works with fishermen to develop practical tools that help them fish smarter and secure greater value from their catch, while exploring sustainable and renewable uses of the marine environment. The organization also aims to build science literacy as a cornerstone of a 21st century ocean economy by offering programs that engage Maine's next generation in curiosity and problem solving. A notable recent development is the March 2026 launch of the Fish Quality Resource Hub, a free online platform designed to provide low-cost, practical tools to improve product quality and marketplace value for fishermen and seafood businesses.
