Why I am Racing for the Ocean
I'm lucky enough to have fallen in love with the ocean at a very young age through my time spent in Woods Hole. At first, that love was purely experiential - days spent sailing, fishing, or swimming. But if you know Woods Hole, you know science is the heartbeat of the village - and it wasn't long before that found me too.
As a student at the Children's School of Science, I began to develop a deeper appreciation for our oceans, thanks in large part to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the hands-on learning experiences they shared with us.
That early exposure stuck with me. It changed the way I see the ocean - not just as a place I love to be, but as something worth understanding and protecting. The ocean plays a critical role in the health of our planet - regulating climate, sustaining ecosystems, and so much more we're still working to understand.
Ocean research has never felt more important than it is right now.
Please join me in supporting the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's mission to protect our oceans through research, exploration, and education.


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.
We are working together to support ocean science at WHOI. As we join together to RACE FOR THE OCEAN, you help WHOI place big bets on science to accelerate the search for climate solutions, 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!
