WHOI scientists Dennis McGillicuddy (left) and Ruoying He deploy a drifter to observe the flow of currents around the Bay of Fundy during a May 2005 cruise on the research vessel Oceanus. The devices were built by Jim Manning of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service to track the movement of water in the Gulf of Maine, where the harmful algae Alexandrium fundyense are widely distributed.
