Drive Discovery
WHOI scientists are taking on issues that impact the lives and livelihoods of people everywhere, backed by complementary capabilities in technology, engineering, marine operations, and communications. Marine pollution and plastics; climate change and ecosystem degradation; declining coral reefs; and endangered whales, red tides and other harmful algal blooms-these are just a few of the challenges that WHOI is stepping up to confront with world-class independent science, building on nearly a century of experience and an unmatched track record of boundary-breaking discoveries.

Inform Action
The ocean holds answers to some of humanity's greatest challenges, but science must reach beyond the halls of academia to achieve impact in society. Media, marketing, and top-quality content are no longer nice-to-have add-ons to the scientific enterprise-they are needed to drive social acceptance and public support for solutions-oriented science. At the same time, scientists require training and support to connect and communicate effectively with policymakers, conservation organizations, businesses, local communities, and the global public.
