Why I am Racing for the Ocean
“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” –Jacques Cousteau
Spending much of my childhood summers on Narragansett Bay gave me an early appreciation for how vital healthy oceans are both for marine life, and for the communities that depend on them. That connection has grown into a lasting commitment to ocean conservation, from supporting oyster reef restoration in New York Harbor to local beach cleanups in Maryland and Rhode Island. Beyond advocacy and volunteer work, marine life and ocean conservancy has inspired my journey in the practice of art.
I’m proud to support the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, whose cutting-edge research is essential to protecting our oceans in a time of rapid environmental change. Your support helps make that work possible.
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!
