The Robert S. Friedman Field Station (FFS) of Suffolk University is a 50+ acre camping field station located at Cobscook Bay in Edmunds, Maine. The FFS extends the reach of the Biology department by providing students with marine and other field-orientated courses and research opportunities. Students have access to the diversity and complexity of a protected regional ecosystem for field-oriented studies at the field station. Classroom and laboratory facilities support the instructional program, supplemented by two circulating seawater systems and two 13’ Boston Whalers. Cobscook Bay is a part of the lower Bay of Fundy system and is noted for its great tidal fluctuation and its abundance of boreal coastal marine life. The FFS accommodates approximately 50 persons in residence. Student, faculty and staff housing is in small cabins requiring sleeping bags. A central Comfort Station provides shower and lavatory facilities. Meals are prepared by a kitchen staff and are served in a dining facility. The station is operated seasonally with a full summer offering of courses and yearly offerings for special course-related field studies.
