Cape Cod News editorial staff
Grant Focuses on single-use plastics used in the food and hospitality industries.
Local environmental conservation non-profit CARE for the Cape & Islands received a nearly $300,000 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Sea Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to help the Cape's food and hospitality businesses move away from single-use containers and service-ware.
What is CARE for the Cape and Islands?
Care for the Cape and Islands was founded in 2012 as the Cape and Islands’ first travelers’ philanthropy initiative.
More commonly known today as Impact Travel, CARE seeks to encourage, support, and create opportunities for visitors and residents to donate their “time, talent, and treasure” to help preserve and protect the region’s natural beauty, plant and wildlife habitats as well as Cape & Islands culture and history.
What is the WHOI?
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is the world's leading, independent non-profit organization dedicated to ocean research, exploration, and education. WHOI maintains unparalleled depth and breadth of expertise across a range of oceanographic research areas.
Institution scientists and engineers work collaboratively within and across six research departments to advance knowledge of the global ocean and its fundamental importance to other planetary systems. At the same time, they also train future generations of ocean scientists and address problems that have a direct impact in efforts to understand and manage critical marine resources.
