	Gulf of Maine study identifies 3,317 species of marine life - Boston.com
		The Gulf of Maine is the home to more than 3,300 marine species, or roughly 1,300 more than scientists thought less than a decade ago, according to a new study.
		The census, which was compiled by researchers from Canada and the University of Southern Maine, aims to document the biodiversity of the Gulf of Maine to better understand the effects of environmental change.
		The Gulf of Maine comprises an area that ranges from subpolar to temperate conditions, meaning shifts in marine life could serve as harbingers of climate change, Incze said.

	Gulf of Maine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gulf of Maine is a large gulf of the Atlantic Ocean on the northeastern coast of North America, roughly between Cape Cod in Massachusetts on the south and Cape Sable Island on the southern tip of Nova Scotia to the northeast.
		The coastline of the Gulf of Maine is predominantly rocky and scenic; the only significant coastal development is located in the Boston, Portsmouth, Portland and Saint John metropolitan areas.
		Gulf of Maine waters are more strongly influenced by the Labrador Current, making the gulf waters significantly colder and more nutrient-rich than those found to the south.
