 At Merrymeeting Bay, six major rivers converge to create a truly unique and rare ecosystem: the breeding ground of osprey and bald eagles, home to Atlantic sturgeon and harbor seals. Narration through this beautiful stretch of water is provided by members of local environmental organizations who share their knowledge of the wildlife, the ecological vitality and the challenges now facing this unique place. Bring a camera as this trip provides excellent opportunities to photograph endangered and protected species of wildlife and stunning views. This program is made possible thanks to the sponsorship of the Merrymeeting Bay Trust and the collaborative efforts of the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust.

All Cruises include two-day Museum admission. Don’t forget cameras; photo ops of lighthouses, seals, eagles, and ospreys abound. Cruises are subject to cancellation due to inclement weather, unforeseen circumstances, or private charter. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to departure. Advanced reservations are recommended.
