"The Associates
Program is a terrific opportunity for those who are interested in ocean
science to become involved with the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution (WHOI). Ocean science is a fast-paced, constantly changing,
challenging field. The oceans affect all of us. Those who live near the
coast are acutely aware of the beauty, fragility, commercial value, and
challenging dynamics of coastal waters as well as the deep ocean. Those
who live inland, as far as the farmlands of the mid-west, understand that
the oceans drive global climate and that oceanic phenomena determine rainfall
and drought, affecting crops, livestock, and lifestyles worldwide.
"We need to understand how the oceans work, how marine ecosystems function. WHOI scientists are helping us to gain this knowledge, this understanding. Associates support these men and women by learning about their work, understanding the challenges, and articulating the importance and significance of their findings. Associates also provide crucial financial support through their annual gifts to the Institution. Our membership is an integral part of the Institution. We welcome new participants. Please contact us for more program information." -- Dudley Harrington, President of the WHOI Associates
Publications, lectures, events, and travel opportunities are available to members. Inquiries regarding the Associates Program can be made to: Associates Program
