Shoals Marine Lab Live Cam

Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML), located on Appledore Island, is a premier field station dedicated to marine science education and research. Situated in the Gulf of Maine, Appledore Island is part of the Isles of Shoals archipelago, which straddles the border between New Hampshire and Maine. This unique setting provides SML with access to a diverse marine environment, making it an ideal location for hands-on study of marine ecosystems, coastal processes, and biodiversity. Established in the 1960s, Shoals Marine Laboratory has a rich history that reflects both its commitment to scientific inquiry and the natural history of the island itself.
