About OceansWide
 Welcome
to OceansWide! We are a non-profit organization whose purpose
is to put students and scientists
together at sea in the Gulf of Maine. We are a dedicated group of scientists, researchers,
and teachers who believe it is important to educate the students
of Maine about the amazing mysterious world that exists off
shore. We are excited about having students work with scientists
to determine research goals, participate in the actual at-sea
research, and write reports on their findings. All of this
happens while getting wet on the deck of our research
ship.
OceansWide will manage research vessels and remotely operated vehicles
(ROV) for use by scientists, educators and students.
We began in 2004 and intend to have a ship in the water
as soon as possible. Buzz Scott is the visionary and driving
force behind OceansWide. He has surrounded himself with
a stellar group of sea going scientists, educators, and technicians
who have world wide knowledge and experience.
Buzz is a pro at flying the ROVs and can snap photos while trapping
the stray jellyfish in a bottle. We use ROVs to
gather data which satisfy research goals in marine sciences.
These include pelagic and benthic science, biology, microbiology,
chemical oceanography, geology and archaeology.
We have links on this Website to our business plan and biographies
of our key people. In addition we have a
multimedia gallery of
the amazing sea life we have observed down deep.
We are about educational excellence and are excited to bring
great opportunity to the students and researchers.
Enjoy our website. We'd love to hear from you.
