Underwater Life in Rockland, Maine

Like many harbors along the coast of Maine, Rockland has been home to shipbuilding, shipping, fishing, fish processing, and more recently a growing number of recreational boaters. Below it all, the silent creatures of the cold salt water have held onto their secrets. Some, like anemones stay put in one place all their lives, others like sea urchins, sea stars, seals and lobsters move around. Like us they call this place home. Meet some of them in this video narrated by Caitlin Cleaver, a marine biologist, diver and director of science and research at the Hurricane Island Foundation.
