Cameron Partners with WHOI

Explorer and filmmaker James Cameron has partnered with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to advance deep-ocean science and technology. Cameron is donating the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER—the submersible he piloted to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in 2012—to WHOI, where scientists will integrate its innovations into future oceanographic tools. The partnership highlights the importance of public-private collaboration and supports WHOI’s new Center for Marine Robotics. Cameron will also serve on the Center’s Advisory Board, lending his experience and insight to help address challenges in ocean exploration.
