Topics in Oceanography Workshop: Where teachers become the students and scientists become the teachers
Topics in Oceanography Workshops: Where teachers become the students and scientists become the teachers Amy Apprill, far right, gives a presentation to teachers in May 2018 about corals, symbionts, and healthy ecosystems. A group of twenty-nine middle and high school teachers filled the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Ocean Science Discovery Center to capacity on…

Becoming a beach scientist is a snap. Share your photos from iconic beaches to help us better understand and manage our dynamic coast. Next time you are at one of our CoastSnap locations, become a scientist for the day by helping us measure how our beaches change over time. What is CoastSnap? CoastSnap is a…
Read MoreRiver Herring Network Update
Each spring river herring come from the ocean and swim, or “run” up rivers to spawn in ponds and slow sections of rivers. Each fall, Massachusetts river herring wardens gather together to talk about their favorite fish and discuss ways to preserve it. For hundreds of years, people used to gather herring at their local…
