Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is dedicated to research and education to advance understanding of the ocean, and to communicating this understanding for the benefit of society. This grant will support a multi-part research and outreach project to study coastal climate change impacts and develop adaptation solutions. The project has a regional focus on Buzzards Bay and southern New England, but the recommendations that emerge from this work are anticipated to have application in other coastal regions of the U.S.
