Ahoy, Friend!

Summer’s in full swing and so is our calendar of local events! WHOI’s Ocean & Climate Outreach Series, presented by the Yawkey Foundation, offers free activities for the entire family. Plus, learn how a squishy fish thrives under extreme pressure in the deep ocean and meet one of the newest pilots on the Alvin Team.
A crowd of people in lawn chairs is watching the movie Jaws projected on a blow-up movie screen. They are framed by trees and bushes. An academic building behind the movie screen casts light on the lawn where the crowd sits.
