Two sisters turned their childhood love of the ocean into a 65-foot research yacht

A family’s love of boating and the ocean eventually grew into a foundation that connects children with marine science. Angela Rosenberg remembers sitting at the helm of her family’s sailboat on the Chesapeake Bay, an experience that helped shape her future as a marine scientist. In 2016, she and her sister, Kari, established the ANGARI Foundation to bridge the gap between science, research, education, and the public.According to Florida International University (FIU News), the foundation later partnered with FIU to take local middle and high school students on weekend expeditions with marine scientists. Its 65-foot research vessel, R/V ANGARI, became a classroom at sea, where students could take part in activities such as shark tagging and plankton studies.How did Rosenberg’s childhood love of the ocean lead to the ANGARI FoundationAngela Rosenberg’s connection to the ocean began in childhood.
