All seafaring peoples hold relationships to the wild beings living in the waters they call home. Many Indigenous peoples maintain deep ancestral connections with seals.  This exhibition witnesses those relationships across many coasts, honoring everything seals    give to us.

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this newsletter!

As a member of our international community, you are an invaluable part of a continuing story of science research in Woods Hole which began in 1888 (WHOI in 1930) by scientists who left their distant homes to live and work here. Without you continuing to build upon this expression of leadership and discovery, Woods Hole as an international center for scientific excellence and education would be a very different place.

Need help navigating things in your new home?

Even for those of us from here, living in New England can sometimes be complex.
We can assist you with your questions
