Established by Congress in 1950, the National Science Board (NSB) is the policymaking body for the National Science Foundation. NSB also advises the President and Congress on science and engineering policy issues. The Board’s 24 members are drawn primarily from universities and industry and represent a variety of science and engineering disciplines. Board members are selected for their eminence in research, education or public service and records of distinguished service.

Sea Education Association Receives National Science Board Award Honoring 45 Years of SEA Semester®

Award Nominator: Robert B. Gagosian, Ph.D. President Emeritus, Consortium for Ocean Leadership Award References: George M. Woodwell, Ph.D. Founder and President Emeritus, The Woods Hole Research Center

Carl Safina Endowed Chair of Nature and Humanity, Stony Brook University, Founding President, The Safina Center Cynthia R. Robinson, Director, AAAAS Science & Technology Fellowships Program, American Association for the Advancement of Science

The National Science Board has announced that its 2016 Group Public Service Award honors Sea Education Association for substantial contributions to increasing public understanding of science in the United States.

In his letter of nomination Robert B. Gagosian wrote: Since its inception in 1971, SEA has fulfilled a need to create ocean scholars, stewards, and leaders through interdisciplinary, hands-on experience at sea. It is fair to say that SEA, more than any other organization, has been responsible for inspiring undergraduates to go on to pursue careers in marine science. No other hands-on field research oceanographic program impacts so many young minds in such a profound way. No other undergraduate program alumni have such a profound influence in the world of marine science. Thus, it seems fitting that in its 45th year, SEA’s sustained excellence and dedication to exposing and educating students to ocean sciences and to contributing to an ocean-literate citizenry, is recognized by the National Science Board Public Service Award. I strongly recommend that you recognize SEA’s outstanding leadership and extraordinary history of shaping and encouraging the next generation of scientists and ocean scholars, stewards and leaders. The organization has had a substantial impact.

Today, Sea Education Association is a valued member of nized leader in undergraduate ocean education. Since 1971, it has the Woods Hole community and a recognized leader in education equipped students with tools to become environmentally literate under sail. leaders prepared to address the defining issue of the twenty-first SEA has evolved dramatically over the years. Much of that century: the human impact on the environment. For 45 years, expansion can be credited to Rafe Parker, who succeeded Cory SEA Semester students have been conducting research, collecting Cramer as director in 1982.

literature and have presented at nationally and internationally recognized conferences.

SEA Semester students pursue research projects with local, national and international relevance, many of which make use of professionally accepted frameworks and metrics. The Ocean Health Index (OHI) metrics, developed in 2012, provide a valuable template for SEA Semester student contributions to this global-scale research effort.

SEA-collected data on plastic marine debris has already been incorporated into OHI publications.

In 2010, SEA conducted the first federally funded research expedition dedicated solely to examining the accumulation of plastic debris in the North Atlantic Ocean. The 2010 expedition documented high plastic concentrations from Bermuda to the center of the North Atlantic Ocean, including the highest plastic concentration ever recorded (26 million pieces per square kilometer). SEA has catalogued and archived more than 100,000 individual plastic pieces since 1986, and SEA authors have published analyses of these data in a number of scientific articles.

In 2012, the second expedition dedicated to plastic debris was conducted in the North Pacific Ocean. Both of these expeditions were staffed by SEA alumni and had web-based and educational outreach programs.

During 2016, SEA will convene the fifth Annual Sargasso Sea Symposium where students from SEA Semester: Marine Biodiversity and Conservation (MBC) will interact with current leaders in conservation science and policy. In addition to providing critical professional development experience for the undergraduates the Symposium serves as an opportunity for SEA to showcase the excellent quality of research being mentored by its faculty.

In the last five academic years, students who have enrolled in SEA programs come from 229 colleges and universities in the US and 15

“SEA has built a new realm of scholarship in public affairs focused on students of great talent who come together before the mast to study ships and the sea and to learn fundamentals of oceanography and life and to put it all to work in a realm that is completely new for many of them: the public interest.”

—George Woodwell, founder, The Woods Hole Research Center

“I have followed SEA’s evolution and am impressed by its growth since the initial class on R/V Westward in 1971 set sail to explore the Caribbean. Two new ships have been built, the program now operates across the Pacific Ocean as well as the Atlantic, academic programs on ocean policy have been introduced, and more than 10,000 individuals have had the experience to “know the ropes,” see science come alive in the ocean environment, and understand the importance of that science for society.”

FOLLOWING SEA Winter/Spring 2016

This spring Alex Salesin and Jillian Valpey were S-264 shipmates on the SSV Robert C. Seamans in SEA Semester: The Global Ocean with a cruise track that took them from Auckland to Christchurch in New Zealand. Alex is the daughter of Jeremy Salesin, W-75, who sailed from Key West to Woods Hole in 1984. Jillian is the granddaughter of Marion Valpey, W-41, who attended SEA Semester in 1978 while she was in her 40’s and doing undergraduate work at Wellesley. Although Marion joined an alumni sail in Tahiti in 2005 when she was in her 70’s, she now calls herself an “armchair sailor.” Alex and Jillian are among the latest legacies to join the alumni community at SEA—and we refer to Jillian as the first ‘grand-legacy.’

Jeremy has been thinking about his children attending SEA Semester since they were born. He took Alex on an alumni sail from Los Angeles to San Diego when she was 12 and Alex says she has been thinking about it since that time. Alex also completed a Science at SEA high school program and sailed with her father on two more alumni sails before she enrolled in SEA Semester.

Jillian feels that SEA Semester challenged her in the best way possible. She says, “While I am not a science major I know this program will help me in a professional sense. As an accounting major and about to enter the corporate world, the leadership and teamwork skills that I have learned will translate to an office setting. The responsibility and accountability that we have learned by working in this dynamic environment will be important skills in any field of work.”

Janet McMahon, W-39, was a student in 1978 and returned to volunteer as a sailing intern and guest lecturer on C-263 this year. Her student trip took her from South Carolina, around Florida and up the Mississippi to New Orleans, then out into the Gulf Stream all the way to Woods Hole. Her recent cruise track was very different, departing the Canary Islands for a transatlantic voyage ending in St. Croix. Janet’s daughter, Sophie Davis, S-258, participated in SEA Semester: Oceans and Climate with a cruise track from Christchurch, New Zealand to Papeete, Tahiti. Their combined cruise tracks are a real testament to the now global reach of SEA Semester.

Sophie was surprised and excited to see how similar her experience was to that of her mother. Both have memories based on the same passion for the ocean and the simple and beautiful way of life at sea. Janet says, “I wish everyone could experience time with SEA. I encourage parents to let their children move out of their comfort zone. The staff are among the most capable and compassionate I have ever met. Being disconnected from the buzz of the mainland, doing difficult physical work, the rigorous academics, learning through immersion in a foreign environment, and the tightness and the community that develops when at sea can’t be duplicated anywhere. It gives students perspective.”

Biff Umhau, W-36, sailed on the trip south from Woods Hole to Puerto Rico in 1977.

His daughter Blaire, S-238, first participated in a high school program, Oceanography of the Southern California Bight, in the summer of 2007. She then participated in a full SEA Semester with a cruise track from Hawaii to Tahiti in 2011. About her experience, she said, “I understand now how small we are in relation to the rest of the universe. You gain appreciation for that perspective when your ship is so far out to sea that the closest people outside the boat are in the space shuttle orbiting 250 miles above you. I gained a lot of practical skills in science that I use every day as a grad student in ocean science. I found the challenges associated with studying on a ship exhilarating and am constantly looking for new ways to challenge myself. I have just spent the last week at the Oceans Sciences Meeting in New Orleans, presenting my first research paper as a graduate student!” continued on page 20

2014-2015 ANNUAL REPORT This year marks a milestone in SEA’s history—its 45th Anniversary! While the organization, its programs, its campus, and its ships have evolved over the years, SEA has remained dedicated to its mission of educating students about the ocean and the human-ocean experience. I look forward to celebrating this milestone when the Corwith Cramer returns to Woods Hole in May. It is particularly fitting (and extremely exciting) that the National Science Board has selected SEA to receive its Public Service Award this year. This Award recognizes “individuals and groups that have made substantial contributions to increasing public understanding of science and engineering in the United States.”

It is a very prestigious award and is an honor for which everyone at SEA—faculty, staff, students, alumni, Trustees and Overseers, and our dedicated supporters—can be very proud.

There is much to celebrate in this anniversary year. SEA has reached over 9,000 undergraduates, high school teachers, and students, teaching them about the ocean and taking them to sea for hands-on research Susan E. Humphris, Chair Board of Trustees, February 2016 and sailing experience. It has inspired ocean leaders, scholars, and stewards, and most of those who the organization has touched in some way have become passionate about the health and sustainability of the marine environment. The reach of SEA’s alumni—in academia, government, maritime industries, and business—is impressive, and speaks to the intellectual diversity and excellence of SEA’s programs and their importance in preparing students to assume leadership roles in their chosen careers.

But SEA has become more than that: with its new cruise tracks that take its sailing vessels from Europe to islands in the western Pacific, SEA is now truly a global organization with collaborations worldwide. The research that SEA conducts helps shape public dialog and policy through long-term environmental research, as exemplified by the recent publications concerning plastics in the ocean.

SEA has come a long way since its early days taking “apprentices” on voyages on the Westward!

There is another group that I would like to take this opportunity to celebrate, and that is our long time donors (Full and By listed on Page 15) who have been so loyal to SEA over its history. You have demonstrated a passion for SEA’s mission, confidence in SEA’s programs and its faculty, and an appreciation of the impact of SEA on its students. We are forever grateful to you for your dedication and generosity.

Finally, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all who have contributed to SEA over the last year. Your support is critical in enabling SEA to offer the best undergraduate ocean-based programs. As we embark on another 45 years, I hope you will continue to support SEA and help us offer a diverse group of students the opportunity to learn about and experience the ocean.

Illustrations Available for Purchase Illustrations of SEA vessels are available for purchase in celebration of SEA’s 45th Anniversary.

Carly Larsson, the artist, grew up on Cape Cod and attended high school at Sturgis in Hyannis. She went on to study at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY where she currently resides. It was there that she and her friend, Audrey Hawkins, also an illustrator, spent an afternoon last May drawing the SSV Corwith Cramer during a port stop in Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Audrey’s uncle, Richard Hawkins, is an SEA trustee and had a personal connection to SEA’s founder, Cory Cramer.

The 8 x 10 archival prints can be ordered by mailing a check for $45 (each) to: 45th Anniversary Prints SEA PO Box 6 Woods Hole, MA 02543 Please specify the ship’s name and your name and mailing address. For questions, or credit card orders please contact Kerry Sullivan at ksullivan@sea.edu.

Artist Highlights SEA in Fossils of the Anthropocene at AAAS Houston-based artist Erik Hagen explores humanity’s role in the environmental history of our planet. One current environmental issue traced back to humanity is marine debris and microplastics, a long-term on-going research project at SEA. SEA Semester students and faculty have been collecting data on marine plastic debris for more than 30 years in the Atlantic and nearly 15 years in the Pacific. This dataset is the largest of its kind in the world and allows SEA researchers to study trends over space and time.

SEA Dean Paul Joyce said, “SEA’s data contributes to our understanding of the distribution and ultimate fate of plastic in the ocean. Every one of our students who have helped collect and count plastic debris over the decades has been an important contributor to this work.”

Hagen learned of SEA’s work in the field of microplastics and approached SEA, inquiring if he might obtain some marine microplastic to be used in his art. Using samples gathered by students, Hagen created the piece titled, “Microplastics in the Seas,” which hung at the American Association for the Advancement of Science art gallery from September 5 through November 19 of 2014 as part of a larger exhibit “Fossils of the Anthropocene.” Hagen donated this painting to SEA where it hangs in the library.

New Summer Session - Pacific Reef Expedition A new Summer Session will debut in 2016. Pacific Reef Expedition will chronicle the state of coral reefs in the remote Pacific Ocean in response to a major ongoing climate event: an El Niño predicted to be the strongest on record. Students will participate in oceanographic research while making an epic 2,600-nautical mile passage across the Equator from Tahiti to Hawaii, retracing historic voyages of Polynesian migration, and mastering time-tested navigation methods that rely on the sun, stars, and moon. They will visit some of the most remote island atolls in the world to document the effects of environmental change.

Unlike other SEA Semester programs, Pacific Reef Expedition does not begin with a shore component at our Woods Hole campus. After completing pre-program online coursework and discussion they will join the SSV Robert C. Seamans in Tahiti. Students will set sail for Hawaii, conducting snorkel-based photographic and visual surveys of the local corals, fish, and invertebrates found among three distinct island atolls along the way. Comparative research of environments that have experienced wide variations in development—Caroline Island (none), Rangiroa (moderate) and Christmas Island (extreme)—will allow students to document and compare the potential effects of El Niño. Data collected during this voyage could help shed new light on the ability of reefs to endure and adapt to global climate change.

Coursework offers the opportunity to carry out predetermined research projects while sailing across the Equatorial Pacific. In small teams, students will examine the richness and variety of marine life in coral reef environments at different locations along the cruise track.

This field-based program for all majors will explore the changing Pacific Ocean environment through science and leadership lenses, including a rare chance to study remote, pristine coral reef ecosystems up close.

ELSAESSER FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITY! SEA is pleased to announce we are accepting preliminary proposals for the 2016-2017 Armin E. Elsaesser Fellowship. The Fellowship program, established in 1987, is in memory of Armin E. Elsaesser III—sailor, educator, and adventurer—who sailed on several Westward cruises and taught Maritime Studies on shore. With his strong curiosity and sense of adventure, Armin inspired SEA students and staff alike. n The goal of the Armin E. Elsaesser Fellowship is to help one or more individuals each year to follow a dream that has been elusive because of the demands of work or study. The successful project will involve active investigation into an area of personal interest and should reflect a creative and independent approach to the pursuit of knowledge. SEA alumni, faculty, staff, and past employees are eligible for the Armin E. Elsaesser Fellowship. Awards range from $3,000 to $7,000 for projects that are at least one month in duration and involve any marine or maritime field that is not directly related to the applicant’s current professional activities. Winners will be chosen by a competitive selection. n Preliminary proposals should be no more than two pages and should outline the project and preliminary budget. Applicants should also include a short biographical sketch. Proposals must be submitted by June 30, 2016 to the address below. SEA’s Fellowship Committee will review the proposals and a small number will be selected for submission of a more detailed proposal. The final decision will be announced in the fall of 2016. Proposals should be emailed to elsaesser@sea.edu or mailed to Elsaesser Committee, SEA, PO Box 6, Woods Hole, MA 02543.

PASSAGES Elsaesser Fellowship Winner Announced Retracing A Historic Expedition

If you could follow one dream that has been elusive because of the demands of work or study, what would it be?

That’s the question that SEA posed this spring when we invited applications from alumni, faculty, staff, and past employees for the Armin E. Elsaesser Fellowship. The Fellowship program, established in 1987, is in memory of Armin E. Elsaesser III, a sailor, educator, and adventurer who sailed on several cruises aboard our now-retired ship, the Westward, and taught Maritime Studies on shore. Armin’s strong curiosity and sense of adventure inspired SEA students and staff alike.

We are pleased to announce that Timothy Dwyer, W-160, (pictured) is our 2015-2016 winner.

With support from this award, Tim will retrace the path taken in Pacific Northwest waters by geologist James D. Dana and other scientists aboard the U.S. Exploring Expedition (or “Ex. Ex.”), the nation’s first global oceanic voyage of exploration, in 1841. Tim plans to sail his own 35-foot sloop over a six-week period next summer through the Salish Sea, which includes Puget Sound, the Strait of Georgia, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Along the way, his primary goal is to fill in gaps from Dana and team’s historic biodiversity survey of the area.

Rather than painstakingly illustrating collected biological samples, as Dana did, Tim plans to use specialized photography techniques both underwater and on the surface to create descriptive portraits of marine invertebrate organisms found throughout the region. To complete his project, he will draw on his more than a decade of scientific, temperate-water SCUBA diving experience.

A Teacher First and Foremost Tim currently lives in Friday Harbor, Washington on San Juan Island, and considers himself first and foremost a teacher.

“I am a teacher who is concerned that no one under the age of twenty knows who Jacques Cousteau was,” he wrote in his proposal. “In the three years that I transitioned out of a career in research science and into high school teaching, this has been one of my more brutal realizations.”

Since 2012 he has taught high school life sciences and math at Spring Street International School, a small, rural independent school. He also served as science director of the school’s Inland Ocean Studies summer program for high schoolers. He previously worked as a research technologist at University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Laboratories, a marine science instructor at the Catalina Island Marine Institute in California, an educator for the Ocean Classroom Foundation in Maine (where he sailed the Westward again after its sale to that organization), and an educator/crew member for the Living Classrooms Foundation in Baltimore, among other positions. He holds a Master of Science degree in Biology from Northeastern University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology and Environmental Studies from Bowdoin College.

Congratulations Tim.

Sailors for the Sea Sponsors SEA Semester Student Reporter Award

Save the Date 45th Anniversary Reunion We hope to see you back on campus in Woods Hole for Reunion! All classes are welcome to attend the 45th Reunion celebration May 20-21, 2016. Join us for day sails aboard the Corwith Cramer, activities on campus and off in Woods Hole, and an evening reception. Don’t forget- the class with the highest percentage of participation in this year’s Annual Fund will win an overnight sail on the Cramer!

For more information and to register please visit the Alumni section of the SEA website (http://www.sea.edu/alumni_parents) or email Victoria, Alumni Relations Coordinator, at vsmith@sea.edu. We cannot wait to see you!

In a new partnership with SEA, the ocean conservation organization Sailors for the Sea has begun offering a $1,500 award to one admitted SEA Semester student twice per academic year who is interested in serving as an “Onboard Reporter.” The goal of this collaboration is to educate the boating community about the waters upon which they travel and to increase awareness of pressing ocean health issues, ranging from plastic pollution to climate change. The selected Onboard Reporter will use blog and social media posts, photos, and video to communicate their observations and experiences before, during, and just after their SEA Semester voyage through Sailors for the Sea’s popular online channels.

The first award recipient is Aiden Ford (pictured), who sailed with class C-264, Colonization to Conservation in the Caribbean, in spring semester 2016. Aiden, a Human Ecology and Secondary Education major at College of the Atlantic, is a coastal Maine native who aspires to become a high school science teacher. Summers spent working as crew aboard a local historic schooner piqued her interest both in applying to SEA Semester and studying ocean sustainability.

“While I was around sailors who dedicated themselves to the majesty of the marine environment, I also crossed paths with harmful practices regarding the disposal of discarded resources,” Aiden wrote in her introductory blog post. While voyaging to Cuba, Dominican Republic, St. Croix, and other diverse Caribbean islands aboard the SSV Corwith Cramer, Aiden planned to focus her field research on waste management practices and the history of education in local communities.

SCIENCE CORNER

Sargassum Studies at SEA

By Jeffrey Schell, Deb Goodwin, Amy Siuda

A student readies the dip net to sample a massive Sargassum mat surrounding the Cramer in the Lesser Antilles during the 2014-15 inundation event.

Scientifically speaking, Sargassum is golden-brown, leafy algae with serrated blades and small floats; the genus includes numerous species spanning tropical and temperate waters.

The vast majority of Sargassum species are benthic, found along coastlines worldwide.

But in the middle of the North Atlantic—1000s of miles away from shore, caught up and collected by ocean currents called the North Atlantic gyre—at least two species are recognized to spend their entire life cycle drifting at the sea surface: Sargassum fluitans and Sargassum natans.

Drift Sargassum is home to a diverse community of marine organisms. Colonial hydroids grow like vines, wrapping around the algae’s stems and blades, while bryozoans create an intricate lattice of calcium carbonate over older portions. Solitary anemones and barnacles also establish attached homes. Scurrying about the tangle of Sargassum branches are shrimp, crabs, snails, nudibranchs and fish, all cryptically-colored and uniquely adapted to this vagabond ecosystem. From above and below, seabirds and larger fish forage upon this oasis of marine life in the veritable blue desert of the North Atlantic gyre, while juvenile sea turtles and eel larvae seek out drift Sargassum as refuge and nursery habitat.

Sargassum observations are centuries old and often mythic. Columbus notably recorded seeing ‘weed’ adrift on his first and subsequent voyages across the Atlantic—a sure sign of land to come. Ben Franklin (1770’s) used the presence of Sargassum, or ‘gulfweed,’ to help chart the position of the Gulf Stream. Based on his own voyages and accounts of others, Alexander von Humboldt (early 1800’s) mapped the location of ‘Fucus Banks;’ the going hypothesis was that drift algae came from submerged fields of the lost continent of Atlantis. Matthew Fontaine Maury (mid 1800’s) refined the position of the Sargasso Sea based on his extensive survey of US Naval logbooks. The naturalist Moseley described the adaptive coloration of Sargassum fauna during the early years of the Challenger expedition (late 1880s). While director of Yale’s Peabody Museum of Natural History (1938-1942), Albert Parr was the first scientist to conduct research cruises specifically examining Sargassum distribution, noting morphological diversity among varieties of S. fluitans and S. natans.

SCIENCE CORNER

Sargassum research at SEA began in earnest on cruise W-33 in 1977 and has been a routine element of our Atlantic science program since. With standard twice-daily neuston tows and targeted dip net sampling, SEA Semester students, faculty and crew have amassed an unparalleled scientific record. In the 1980s, Chief Scientist Allan Stoner published three papers describing SEA’s early observations of the seaweed’s distribution and associated fauna. A decade later, photographs and descriptions of the uniquely adapted organisms populating the floating ecosystem were shared with the world by Chief Scientist Henry Genthe.

Continued explorations have yielded over 35 SEA student projects, five publications and 19 presentations on the subject in the last five years alone. Student research at SEA has focused on Sargassum distribution; productivity and seawater nutrient enrichment; morphological variability of both the algae and its faunal associates; diversity, abundance and biogeography of the Sargassum community (e.g., shrimps, crabs, fish) and migratory associates (e.g., eel larvae, spiny lobster larvae, seabirds); and even the rare culinary uses of the seaweed!

One might question, after centuries of international study and decades of research at SEA, is there anything left to learn about Sargassum? Most definitely! In 2009, noted scientist, explorer, ocean advocate, and SEA Overseer (!) Dr. Sylvia Earle rallied nations to protect this unique marine ecosystem.

Thus the Sargasso Sea Alliance was born; to inform the scientific case for protection of the Sargasso Sea, they funded digitization and analysis of SEA’s unparalleled neuston tow dataset from the region. While satellite observations combined with net tow records clarify uncertainties of Sargassum distribution, we still don’t understand the seaweed’s movement and connectivity between the Sargasso Sea and Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean, nor can we explain the nuances of community ecology associated with each Sargassum species. These lines of inquiry are central to SEA Semester: Marine Biodiversity and Conservation (MBC), a program offered for the first time in spring 2012. In addition to scientific research results, MBC students also make meaningful contributions to conservation policy; the 2015 class used marine spatial planning methods to develop a Sargasso Sea Management Plan.

The lab team records the Sargassum species, mass, and color following a mid-day neuston tow.

A watershed moment for Sargassum research at SEA arrived with the recent inundation events that have spanned the equatorial North Atlantic. In both 2011-2012 and 2014-2015, vast and unusual quantities of the seaweed washed ashore on beaches throughout the Caribbean and tropical Africa. SEA’s voyages in the region offer the only open ocean, fieldbased perspective on these events: in the living memory of Chief Scientists, captains and crew, we had never seen so much Sargassum at these southern latitudes. As the latest inundation progressed, it became apparent that the long-term dataset curated

by SEA over decades of voyages places the organization at the forefront of important discoveries. Uniquely positioned to examine these and other phenomena while serving as a resource to the larger scientific community, it is an exciting—and busy— time to be engaged in research at SEA.

Her son Eben Kopp, C-263, made the transatlantic voyage from the Canary Islands to Dominica and then St. Croix in 2016. When asked how long she had been thinking about Eben attending SEA Semester, she said, “Honestly, I hadn’t been thinking about him being a legacy because I wanted him to find his own path. As it turned out, his path happened to mirror mine as he chose Bowdoin College and then SEA fall semester junior year, just like his mother. Go figure!” She described the experience of living on a boat as “a unique and intimate way to live; the work is authentic and the experience rich. It is a fantastic way to spend a semester.”

Mary Ann Boyer, W-69, attributes SEA with giving her the confidence and background to pursue a career in the sciences. She was a scientist at EPA, then taught middle school science and now consults with schools to help them become more sustainable. Her daughter Toni Hall, C-257, says that she learned the meaning of resilience and how to overcome larger obstacles both individually and as a shipmate. “I overcame my fears and overall have become a much more independent, confident young woman.”

Eben Kopp C-263 and mother Maria Libby W-78.

Kris Kennard Caldwell, W-71 says that she didn’t know how SEA Semester would change her daughter, but “it did in ways I never imagined.” Aileen Caldwell, C-216, found that, as a humanities major she wanted an abroad program with an historical lens.

So when SEA Semester: Documenting Change in the Caribbean became available she leapt at it. “I am an archivist and SEA certainly instilled in me a love for hands-on learning that I have carried with me throughout my career. It also expanded my interest in climate issues as well as responsible tourism.”

SEA Legacy Awards Applicants who have a parent who participated in a SEA Semester are eligible to apply for a SEA Award of up to $2,500 for a Fall, Winter or Spring SEA Semester.

Awards are prorated for SEA Summer Sessions: $1,650 (8 week) and $950 (4 week).

Legacy Tasha Carter-Gordon, S-245, has just returned from Greece where she volunteered on a grassroots project that provided Syrian refugees with lodging, clothes, food, medical care and practical information for continuing their journey.

Tasha’s mother, Liza Carter, W-22, says that her father and Cory Cramer went to school together and cites a quote from him as influencing her personally and professionally, “What we wanted to do was to take them to sea so they would learn to love the sea.” She is an environmental scientist by training, and also an artist and writer introducing people to worlds they do not know. “I also believe that people cannot love, much less protect, that which they do not know.” n

CURRENTS Connections for Life

By Skye Morét, C-190

“As marine adventurers and leaders, we need to communicate about our discoveries and how the planet works.” —Skye Morét

Skye’s website, www.skyemoret.com, hosts her design work, SEA-related science papers/ features, and many more sketches from her trips with SEA. And her “Antartica: A Chromatic Paradox” won the People’s Choice award for Posters & Graphics in Popular Science’s 2016 Vizzies.

“Skye…Skye, it’s 0230 and it’s time to get up for watch.” By my approximation, I have heard this exact phrase more than 250 times—as an SEA student, an assistant scientist, and a contract chief scientist. For the last decade or so, I’ve lived for that smell of brine and bacon on dawn watch and the thrill of helping delirious students with zooplankton 100-counts. The small, didactic, adventurous and caring sea community keeps me yearning for it year after year, even now when I only occasionally teach onshore and sporadically have the time to sail.

I am now an Information Designer, which means that I love the challenge of datadriven storytelling and visualization. Though I have taught oceanography for various SEA high school and college trips during the last five years, in 2014 I came full circle from my student trip, teaching three SEA Semesters of a new course elective called ‘Data Visualization and Communication.’ I see this future-forward class as imperative to the interdisciplinary nature of SEA—I would even go so far as to say anti-disciplinary nature; breaking the model of traditional academic disciplines. As marine adventurers and leaders, we need to communicate about our discoveries and how the planet works.

I first learned about SEA by attending a slideshow at my college’s ‘mountain club.’ A fellow Oregon State University student had spoken about his recently-finished SEA Semester and I was totally hooked on the idea of learning in such a bizarre, immersive environment. Growing up in Oregon and California, I wanted to take advantage of every opportunity I had in college to learn about different marine ecosystems—I went abroad every fall. During my sophomore year I studied in the subtropical waters of Hawaii, then on to a school on the warm Sea of Cortez my junior year, and finally to the exotic Caribbean, where I completed C-190, the trip to begin all seagoing trips.

My student trip taught me a number of life lessons: that teachers are real people, that I thrive in immersive learning environments, and that friends and a community made at sea are connections for life.

With an 8,000+ strong network of adventurous SEA-faring souls around the globe, I am still surprised by the myriad encounters I’ve had with alumni. The accompanying opportunities have truly shaped my life. It started with Palmyra Atoll. Straight out of college, word was passed down from an SEA captain that a volunteer position was available there through The Nature Conservancy. I lived there—heaven—for threemonths with another SEA alumna as my tent-mate, building the now-active research station and fulfilling my dream of living in a tropical marine environment. After gaining teaching experience on a schooner in Long Island Sound (captained by a former SEA mate), I became an assistant scientist at SEA. Twenty SEA Semesters and countless ‘short trips’ later, my network has increased a thousand fold.

As an assistant scientist, I took the opportunity to analyze SEA’s wealth of neuston net tows after recently hearing about the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” Starting in 2007, colleagues and I ultimately compiled 30+ years worth of plastic marine debris data and I co-wrote five articles ranging from the geographic distribution of pollution in the open ocean to debris’ physical and chemical properties, along with how to actively engage with marine debris in the classroom. Last year I compiled SEA’s plastic data with other studies into a global graphic that was featured in a Sunday edition of The Boston Globe. People are so curious about marine threats and discoveries, and visualizing a topic can make all the difference in how they understand (and vote about) an environmental issue.

Having always loved design, I decided to go back to school for an MFA in some kind of media design, using the context of our marine world to apply new communication skills. Three years later, I am months away from finishing. I now do freelance work on climate change adaptation for The GroundTruth Project, fisheries-related freelance work for The Nature Conservancy, and Popular Science magazine just published a visualization of mine about Antarctic biodiversity.

So the future looks promising! I know there is a network of talented and engaged marine souls that I can tap into if I need to. I am so grateful for the many incredible people I have known, and continue to know, through SEA. They inspire me to believe that our seas are in the hands of capable and motivated stewards. n FOLLOWING SEA Winter/Spring 2016
