WHOI Oceanographic Research Ships

WHOI (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) operates specialized research ships designed to explore and study the oceans. These ships are equipped with advanced technology and laboratories to investigate marine life, ocean currents, seafloor geology, and other underwater phenomena. They enable scientists to venture into deep and remote parts of the ocean, collect valuable data, and conduct experiments that improve our understanding of the ocean’s role in Earth's climate and ecosystems. These vessels are essential tools for advancing ocean science and addressing global environmental challenges.
