“The mission of the boothbay sea and science center is the advancement of sailing, boating and ocean sciences by minimizing economic and physical obstacles and further to develop independence, self-confidence, teamwork and volunteerism in the participants. To inspire individuals to strenghten themselves and their community through the enjoyment of the sea. Bssc's vision is to provide a community sea and science education center that offers equal and affordable access to the waterfront for youth through sailing, boating, and marine science experiential learning programs and activities not provided by other regional organizations.”

“For 12 summers boothbay sea and science center (bssc) has been putting kids in boats and building a program that teaches them, first-hand, about the sea. Linekin bay and its shoreline are its classrooms. By touching, seeing and doing, kids learn about wind and sail trim, tides and currents, the wide variety of marine organisms that make the bay their home, and the importance of good stewardship of shoreline resources. Bssc continues to develop programs that embrace boating, sailing, and ocean science activities, including summer programs at their linekin bay campus at 12 carter rd in east boothbay, maine and in 16 schools in 8 maine counties. Through these programs bssc instills in youngsters not only a deeper understanding of the ocean on which they sail, but also how to safely enjoy, respect, and protect maine's magnificent and naturally beautiful sea and land so that they remain healthy places to live.”
