About Our Specimens

  • All orders are specially hand-collected on a 'to-order' basis. Specimens are carefully packed in foam boxes with gel ice packs and oxygen enriched seawater to assure safe travel to our clients. We specialize in delivering specimens on the date they are needed.

  • Purchases of sea life from Gulf of Maine support a very rural economy and a unique group of fishermen, divers, diggers, & collectors in our part of Eastern Maine. Revenues help us provide our local schools marine life exhibits, field trips, and charitable donations.
