Herring Gut Coastal Science Center

Herring Gut Learning Center has a history of 21 years educating students and communities about the connections between the ocean, inland waters, and the economy of Maine through marine and environmental sciences. We offer a wide range of programming from free public programs during the summer to fee-for-service programs at Herring Gut or at any facility you wish. Programs can range from short immersive 6 week programs, one-off programs, beach tidepool explorations, and intro to aquaponics programs. We also provide field trips to groups looking to get away from their schools for a little bit. We have a full greenhouse, fish room, salt water lab, outdoor classroom and a lobster pound. We are situated near great beaches and the lighthouse in Port Clyde.
