Description

The Schoodic Ferry integrates affordable passenger transit and baseline data collection for transect-based oceanographic assessments of Frenchman Bay. We partner with local and international scientists to develop and conduct long-term marine mammal, pelagic bird, bait fish, plankton, and oceanographic surveys, helping the community develop an understanding of the Bay. Marine mammal and bird sightings. Passengers can collect data on marine mammal and bird sightings to help develop a long-term understanding of how each species utilizes the Frenchman Bay habitat, and how those patterns may change over time.
