The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)is the world's largest private, nonprofit ocean research, engineering and education organization. WHOI is dedicated to research and education to advance understanding of the ocean and its interaction with the Earth system, and to communicating this understanding for the benefit of society. WHOI offers professional development workshops for middle and high school teachers, held twice a year at the WHOI Exhibit Center - sponsored by the Academic Programs Office, Information Office, and Woods Hole Sea Grant. Our oceans and their inhabitants are under increasing stress. Though the oceans are central to our existence, we have barely begun to comprehend their complexities, or the consequences of our impact on them.
