Cynthia Cudaback is an ocean consultant living in Raleigh, NC, USA.
Why do you study the ocean? Most oceanographers with whom I've discussed this question are fascinated by the ocean as a scientific subject, and also want to contribute to its wellbeing. Many promote ocean stewardship through their research. However, when teaching introductory courses, these same people often find that covering ocean science leaves them with little or no time to discuss ocean stewardship.
