Why I am Racing for the Ocean

Hi, I’m Rob, and I’m so excited to be running the Falmouth Road Race for my second year with Team WHOI. I’m a full-time college student and work as a Firefighter/EMT, but the ocean has always been a constant in my life. In my free time, I hold a commercial fishing license and spend hours on the water removing invasive European Green Crabs from Buzzards Bay, a small but meaningful way I try to give back to the marine environment that’s given me so much.


This race means a lot to me, not just because it’s an amazing community event, but because I truly believe in what WHOI is doing. Their work in ocean research and conservation is more important than ever, and I’m proud to run in support of that mission. I’m not a seasoned runner by any stretch, but I run Falmouth because I care. If you’re able to contribute, know that your support goes directly toward protecting the ocean and I couldn’t be more grateful.



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!
