Welcome to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Some of you are old friends; others are new to the Institution and ocean science. No matter who you are, we all share a passion for the sea and a desire to better understand how ocean, air, land and people converge to influence life on Earth. With the launch of this new monthly newsletter, we invite you into our world of discovery and application of ocean science and the many ideas, people and technologies that drive it. Please let us know what you think.

Susan K. Avery, WHOI President and Director
