Students studying at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution .
Institution ( WHOI ), and the Marine Biological Laboratory ( MBL ) conduct research , protect endangered species , study the effects of climate change on ocean life , and more . During their visit , the students toured WHOI buildings , including the Discovery Center , held live marine specimens in the Redfield Laboratory , conducted off-shore scientific research aboard one of their vessels , and participated in a scavenger hunt in the town of Woods Hole .
Our students carry their connection to nature with them when they leave campus . Living in and around the Agricultural Reserve , we all have the same responsibility to our waterways . An easy place for all of us to begin is with similar rainwater gardens in our own backyards . We can lean on organizations who are ready and willing to help such as Alliance for the Bay , the Environmental Protection Agency , and the University of Maryland : Sea Grant Maryland .
