A SEA-worthy Reunion

Four WHOI employees who are alumni of the Sea Education Association’s SEA Semester, found themselves aboard the R/V New Horizon in 2012. From left, mooring technician Meghan Donohue, information systems associate Tom Bolmer, research associate Katherine Hoering, and research assistant Nick Tuttle reminsiced about their experiences at SEA’s environmental studies program, which combines classroom learning in Woods Hole with five weeks of at-sea research experience on a sailboat. They were on cruise to the Northeast Pacific Ocean led by Gareth Lawson. The WHOI biologist studies the impact of ocean acidification on Thecosome pteropods, a kind of deep-water snail also known as “sea butterflies.” (Photo by Peter Wiebe, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
