Marine Field Station: The Retreat

2025

MACH is proud to announce the completion of our first documentary, Marine Field Station: The Retreat, directed and produced by Thomas Lennon—Academy Award-winning filmmaker, MACH senior personnel member, and head of the Documentary Film Lab at Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts.

Marine Field Station: The Retreat is a MACH-supported film that serves the purpose of capturing perspectives on climate change and sharing climate information with a broader audience while simultaneously providing training to the next generation. The film’s production crew was predominantly made up of Rutgers film students who, guided by Lennon, had the opportunity to hone their skills in science-based documentary storytelling while capturing regionally-critical climate adaptation interactions between researchers, stakeholders, and community members.

The documentary features the Rutgers Marine Field Station (RUMFS), a preeminent research facility of  Rutgers  New Jersey Agricultural Research & Education Station (NJAES). RUMFS functions as a central hub for marine and coastal research and also houses the MACH administrative team. 

Click the video link below to watch the film and discover a powerful story of Rutgers’ own resilience and adaptation.

Please follow this link to share your thoughts about the documentary film. This survey should only take a couple of minutes unless you choose to also provide a written review of the film. Thank you.

NR2 hauled ahead of Nor'easter




 NOAA predicts a strong Nor'easter will form, with fifty mph winds and huge seas offshore.  So despite a spare sailing season for me [crocodile tears ...we were in Maine for five weeks] my sister Nancy and I sailed North River 2 around to the east side of City Island where it was ahauled at Barron's boat yard.  The last all sail yard in the Bronx - where America;s Cup contenders once reigned and wer built - like commodore Vanderbilt's Vim, and Ted Turner's Courageous.

 



Vim built by 
Henry B. Nevins, City Island, NY

Courageous - the last City Island, NY built 12 metre
Captain - Ted Turner
