The Friends of Crumple Island Scholarship Fund helps Downeast Institute (DEI) defray the cost of paid summer internships for undergraduate students, particularly those enrolled in University of Maine at Machias’s Marine Biology program.
Read this 2021 Friends of Crumple Island newsletter to learn more about DEI’s 2021 summer interns and the work they are doing to improve the lives of Maine people through marine research, education, and innovations in wild and cultured shellfisheries.
We are proud of the success these bright and engaged young people have had with their direct research experiences at DEI.
