Why I am Racing for the Ocean
I am excited to be running the Falmouth Road Race to raise money for Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.
Many of you know I have an appreciation for ocean recreation. As of recently, I am concerned about ocean sustainability as it relates to overfishing.
I am aware that this problem can feel outside of our country's control due to the lack of international regulation. My hope is that, in supporting WHOI, they can perform research and provide education about the global importance of healthy marine ecosystems, so generations after us can enjoy all the ocean has to offer.
Description
Our Ocean. Our Planet. Our Future.
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is a world-class community of researchers, engineers, technologists and students working together to find solutions to critical environmental challenges facing humanity and our ocean planet.
Our team of runners are also working together to support ocean research at WHOI. As we all join together to RACE FOR THE OCEAN, you help WHOI place big bets on science to accelerate the search for solutions to climate change, keep ocean habitats healthy and marine life thriving, and explore new possibilities for human lives and livelihoods.
By supporting me, you are also supporting solutions-based science by giving WHOI scientists and engineers the flexibility they need to identify and pursue critical research priorities in a changing ocean. Together, we can create an ocean of possibilities!
