Embark on our Journey to Save the Endangered Right Whale, Thurs. June 7th

Start with the lecture: Keeping Endangered Marine Mammals from Becoming Extinct with Scott Kraus, Ph.D., Vice President and Senior Science Advisor, Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life at the New England Aquarium IMAX.

W2O raises awareness & support for the Marine Conservation Action Fund!

Thank you for turning out and showing BIG support for our THINK BIG event. Hundreds of you contributed to the Marine Conservation Action Fund (MCAF) at the New England Aquarium. With your generous donations and W2O's matching grant, we raised more than $54,000 to support the work of scientists across the globe. We also learned the critical importance of saving the endangered North Atlantic right whale here in New England and why it's so vital to our ecosystem. Read how Dr. Asha de Vos inspired others with her work.

And it's not too late to donate to our fund!

Help Massachusetts Make History

W2O is supporting a bill in front of lawmakers that would ban plastic bags across Massachusetts. That would make MA the second state in the country, behind California, to have a ban on plastic bags.

Commit to reducing your use of plastics this summer and check out our W2O swag!
