50 Years Strong

June 15, 2014

On February 11, WHOI received an award of excellence from the Marine Technology Society (MTS) during the Underwater Intervention conference in New Orleans for 50 years of operating Alvin. The award was presented by MTS President Drew Michel and was accepted on behalf of WHOI by Rob Munier, Vice President of Marine Operations. Alvin was in town at the time in advance of its Science Verification Cruise, which meant a good contingent of the sub’s team and crew of R/V Atlantis were also on hand for the ceremony.(Photo courtesy of Rob Munier, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
