Recycled Chlorine-Free Paper / Soy Ink Captains Without Borders

I can’t begin to describe the situation here. I arrived in Juba, South Sudan not quite two weeks ago, and then flew to Aweil two days later. I think that means I have been here for ten days. We have been working 12-14 hour days. The original goal of the mission, to support a maternity ward in a hospital has been dwarfed by our new emergency mission, which is to supply food and non-food items to several

thousand displaced people in the area Captain Phil Sacks was the first SEA captain surrounding Aweil. Many of the children are to volunteer for a mission with Doctors Without Borders. This excerpt is from an email received malnourished, or severely malnourished, so we just after Phil arrived for his second mission, are also setting up therapeutic feeding programs. this time in the Sudan.

Most would probably die otherwise. 12 February 2008 – Phil Sacks from the Sudan

MSF sends doctors, nurses, logisticians, water and sanitation experts and administrators on aid assignments to work in the field alongside locally hired staff providing medical care. According to their website, “MSF’s decision to intervene in any country or crisis is based solely on an independent assessment of people’s needs – not on political, economic, or religious interests. MSF does not intervene according to the demands of governments or warring parties.” A 28-year career SEA Master, Phil applied for his first deployment with Doctors Without Borders late during 2005, looking to spend an upcoming sabbatical in humanitarian service. To his surprise, he was immediately invited for an interview in New York City where he also took the qualifying examination. Once he had qualified for a mission, he returned to New York for an orientation program and awaited an assignment. MSF pays travel expenses, provides a stipend and offers health and dental benefits for field staff. Personnel live together in the field and are usually provided with a local cook and housekeeper. Field staff have the option to decline an assignment after they receive an offer, and are normally given at least two months notice before deployment. In April of 2006 Phil accepted his first mission and left for Thailand in July of that year. Since 2005, MSF has been providing healthcare and water supply to what has grown to be over 8,300 Laotian Hmong people taking refuge in a camp of 30-40 acres size in the Phetchabun Province. The Hmong people are an ethnic minority who supported the Americans during the Vietnam War and cite persecution as a reason for fleeing their country even today.

Our main distributions to the refugees are food and charcoal, each bi-weekly, on alternate Fridays. We are attempting to re-institute a distribution of a few additional critical non-food items, such as plastic sheeting for roofs, a cooking stove, pots, and blankets. However, it is becoming apparent that the demand is greater than our supplies. It is quite a problem to decide who should be first in line to receive what we have to give away. How do we determine the neediest? Quite a challenge. And, it seems, the more we give away, the more people ask for. If we begin giving away extra rice to the elderly not served by the large distribution for families with children, everyone gets in line for their share. 23 September 2006 – Phil Sacks from Thailand

Phil served as the logistician/administrator for the MSF team that included an American nurse, a French doctor, one Thai staff member and totaled 72, including local workers. In the period of a year, the number of refugees at the camp had grown from 6,500 to almost 8,500. Bernard Kouchner, now the foreign minister of France, established Medicins Sans Frontieres in France 37 years ago. In 1968, he had responded to a call from the Red Cross for doctors to go to Biafra at the time of their fight for independence. What he saw sparked the organization, formed by him and his fellow doctors, that would take emergency care to locations impacted by violence or natural disasters.

The work here is very interesting. I’m sure all relief missions are unique, but this one has a few differences from most other MSF missions. In most refugee and displaced person camps, there are several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) present, and MSF is generally responsible for medical services only, or perhaps also water supply. Here 2 Following SEA Winter/Spring 2008 we are the only major relief agency (except for a few very tiny NGOs that give out a Above, Captains Steve Tarrant (center, left) little rice now and then, or bibles). So, we are responsible for essentially all services here. and Al Hickey (center, right) with the Nigerian We take care of water, latrines, garbage, vector control (rats and mosquitoes), food and staff. Below, the orthopedic ward at Teme non-food distributions (stoves, charcoal, blankets, and tarps), in addition to MSF’s more Hospital. customary medical services. We operate an outpatient dispensary (OPD) that sees about 80 patients a day. For problems more serious than can be handled on-site, we refer and transport patients to one of several nearby hospitals. MSF pays all the bills for refugee referrals. The OPD has a staff of about 20 people, all refugees from the camp with various levels of medical training. Some were trained as medics in one of the other refugee camps they have lived, going back 30 years for some, since the end of the French and American wars in SE Asia. I am responsible for all of the services other than the Outpatient Dispensary (OPD). The logistics team is about 50 people. Half are refugees from the camp, and the other, local Thai citizens, some ethnic Thai and other Thai-Hmong. 27 August 2006 – Phil Sacks from Thailand

Captain Steve Tarrant started as a mate in 1997, and worked with SEA in various teaching positions until becoming a full time faculty member captain in 2003. He began community service work much earlier as a kid. Steve says the event that drew him to MSF service was the 2005 Haitian rescue on the Corwith Cramer. Steve was captain of that vessel when 51 Haitian refugees were sighted floating in Caribbean waters and were safely transported to Jamaica aboard the Cramer. (See Following SEA, Summer/Fall 2005.) After that powerful experience, he was moved to go to Haiti to try to understand the story of the Haitian people. Just months before going to sea with Class 197, Steve had been working as a volunteer at the AmeriCares Free Clinic in his hometown of Stamford, CT. Later AmeriCares was able to connect Steve to the Haitian Health Foundation (HHF) who provide improved health and hope to over 200,000 people in rural southern Haiti. Donations to SEA in honor of the crew and students of C-197 and in support of the refugees were directed to HHF, and ultimately provided badly needed fetal heart monitors for Haitian babies. Steve went to Haiti in January 2006 and when he returned, he wanted to do more.

I’m here in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, population of about 5 million-although census records are supposedly poor. I co-manage 208 Nigerian hospital staff in a 70 bed trauma hospital in one of the worst parts of town, Diobu. We admit lots of gunshot and knife wound victims, road traffic accidents and sexual violence cases. The cops, cults, gangs, militants and military shoot each other then come to our hospital. We don’t deny anyone admission. Care is free. The expatriate staff of physicians and nurses comes from the US, Japan, France, the Congo and Ireland. They are a great team. I relieved a friend and colleague here so my introduction to the place and situation was very thorough. He left me in good shape. 25 November 2007- Alan Hickey from Nigeria

It is happenstance that Alan Hickey followed Steve as a logistician at the Teme Hospital in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. After talking with Phil when he returned from Thailand, Steve applied for a mission with MSF. His tour of duty in Nigeria began on May 23, 2007 and ended on November 23, 2007, just as Al relieved him at the hospital. Doctors Without Borders has been managing this 70-bed trauma center since October 2005. The team in Port Harcourt includes 10 expatriates, each stationed for 6 months to a year, and 4 medical specialists with shorter assignments, serving between two and four months. This area, in the southeast corner of Nigeria, Following SEA Winter/Spring 2008 3 transferable, “In addition to having good organizational skills and the ability to communicate, the job requires adaptability.

Ok, time to enjoy the day. Walk up into the hills. I close today with thoughts in my mind of politics and the balance of power, of resources and distribution, and of the people in the camp, the hardships they have faced. Perhaps next time I will write about individuals, like the man we interviewed recently who is in the camp with one of his two wives (the Hmong are sometimes polygamous) and only two of his 17 children. The rest are either dead, in jail, or lost in the jungles of Laos. But behind it all, to keep me going, I keep the vision of children playing in the camp. 18 November 2006 – Phil Sacks from Thailand

4 Following SEA Winter/Spring 2008 Rek Christened SSV Corwith Cramer Re-Christened in Key West – By John Bontrager

Key West is a funky little town January 15th, 2008 in Key West was a cold and blustery day. With the sun close to with its own set of rules and its setting, an informal celebration took place on the deck of SEA’s Corwith Cramer to honor own set of characters. Along with the 20th anniversary of her commissioning. the colorful cast of locals there is a large U.S. military presence, whose roots extend back to the territorial beginning of this city. Henry Flagler’s railroad to Key West (which was completed in 1912) once boasted that, in 24 hours, a passenger could step aboard one of his railcars in New York City and off of one of his ship’s in Havana Cuba. The end of the railroad’s line in Key West was a long jetty adjacent to the Key West Bight. For the past 3 decades it has been the home of NAVAIR Detachment Key West. NAVAIR is a civilian managed government agency, and their location in Key West has been the home of winter and spring dockings for SEA ships for the past 13 years. January 15th, 2008 in Key West was a cold and blustery day. With the sun close to setting, an informal celebration took place on the deck of SEA’s Corwith Cramer to honor the 20th anniversary of her commissioning. Those in attendance included SEA staff and crew, staff members of NAVAIR Detachment Key West, and crew and staff of both Seaward Services and the research vessel known as 38. In addition, a special invitation had been extended to a local Key West resident and former Director of NAVAIR, Dan Probert. After a casual gathering on the lee side with good food and drink provided by SEA stewards, a group of 25 moved towards the bow where Captain Jason Quilter began a small ceremony. Jason spoke of the Cramer’s history, and her original commissioning in Bilboa, Spain on January 15th, 1988. He told of her maiden voyage, the first of three Atlantic crossings, which was shared by H.D.S. Greenway in the May 1988 Boston Globe Magazine article entitled “An Atlantic Crossing.” Jason went on to remark that in 360,000 miles sailed, Cramer provided safety and security for faculty, crew, and 2,144 alumni on over 100 Sea Semesters, a testament to her design, construction and the care of many. Special guest Dan Probert, the original Director of NAVAIR, has a long history with SEA. Many years ago Dan and his wife were invited to sail onboard SEA’s vessel Westward, where he met both founder Cory Cramer and Captain Wallace Stark. From that beginning, a relationship developed with SEA becoming an independent monitor of NAVAIR activities in waters near Key West, and the NAVAIR site becoming SEA’s homeport for winter/spring activities. So with Dan’s hand on the bottle, a splash of champagne and a toast to her longevity later, Cramer’s next 20 years were underway. ■

Kimberly Jermain Receives 2007 Armin E. Elsaessar Fellowship Late last summer SEA announced Kimberly Jermain as the recipient of the 2007 Elsaesser Fellowship. Kimberly is an alumna of Sea Semester Class W-29. She received a MFA from Tufts University and School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and a BFA from the University of New Hampshire. Kimberly proposed to use the Armin E. Elsaesser Fellowship to travel to the Island of Koror in the Republic of Palau to study the color of tropical light as it relates to the geology, biology and vegetation of an environment. Kimberly will be making a presentation on the Elsaesser Fellowship project during the 2008 Alumni Reunion weekend in June.

Six Students Present at NCUR Conference With the guidance of SEA Oceanographer, Dr. Jeff Schell, six SEA students attended the 21st annual National Conference for Undergraduate Research at Dominican University of California. Alumni from SEA class S-206 who presented their posters were: Working on Eddies -Justin Gillespie – 1st author, James Parra, Michelle Smet, and Scott Allen (helped with poster but not in attendance) Working on River Plumes -Rusty Robertson – 1st author, Allison Bruce, and Carolyn Moss The conference had over 2,500 undergraduates and 500 faculty from over 100 small, liberal arts colleges in attendance.

Following SEA Winter/Spring 2008 13 2006-2007 Annual Report

The 2007-2008 academic year promised to be an exciting one at SEA, and we have not been disappointed. Faculty are designing new programs built on our talents and passions, staff are working tirelessly to run the organization seamlessly, and students continue to bring a wide variety of academic backgrounds and reasons for wanting to learn more about our oceans. Here is a brief update on some of the exhilarating activities of this year: ■ We have formed a partnership with Boston University, which will further strengthen our long-time and valued relationship with this fine institution – and will create another pathway for more high- quality students to learn about SEA. We also collaborated with Duke University, University of Chicago, and University of San Diego for short programs onboard our vessels. ■ We are offering more upper-level modules with a primary focus on science, such as the new semester Oceans and Climate. This complements our new humanities-based course, Documenting Change in the Caribbean. ■ The entire organization is involved in a strategic planning process, chaired by trustee, Dr. Susan Humphris, which is seeking ways to build on our past achievements while looking for ways to be aligned with the needs of students and their hosting institutions today and in the future. The ideas have been flowing in from all parts of the organization! ■ We have welcomed a new Dean of Enrollment with deep experience and significant successes in higher education marketing and recruitment. Glen Thomas has landed running and has brought many solid ideas to our enrollment efforts. The 2008-2009 year is looking very promising because of the enhancements to our program offerings and our continued recognition as a premier off-campus program. We are grateful Linda Cox Maguire, Chair for the role each of you has played in building our reputation and our possibilities for the Board of Trustees, February 2008 future. Please continue to provide the support we need to keep gaining momentum.

Jay Bercaw, Sean’s father,o had sailed as 1st Mate for Captain Irving Johnson on the 5th and 6th world voyages of the Brigantine Yankee, later bmeeting and marrying Sean’s mother, Gretchen, a former Girl Scout Mariner. aSean said that he was inspired to study ocean currents by throwing bottles over the side of the boat as a 10 year old, but that the first hurdle he had to inovercome was getting wine bottles. “My parents didn’t drink” he laughs, “But I was able to conquer this difficulty by sleuthing behind bars in our various ports of call.” s Sean eventually threw 35 bottles over the side as he sailed through the Indian and e Atlantic Oceans, recording the “data” in a comprehensive format that included the date, latitude and longitude of deployment, a description of the location, condition of the seas g and how the bottle floated. a Each bottle contained a note asking that the finder notify Sean with information to include the bottle number, and the location and date of the find. His first response came s in 1974. A bottle that had traveled over 1,500 nautical miles in less than 3 months was s found by a boy living with his grandparents in Nicaragua. Thus began the intrigue of this science experiment, the individual story associated with each bottle’s recovery.

e Inspired by his 1972 visit aboard Westward (on W-1) in the Galapagos Islands, Sean

began his working relationship with SEA in 1990, sailing for over 15 years, at various

times as an Engineer, Mate, Assistant Scientist, and Captain. During that time he logged m a total in excess of 104,000 nautical miles on 27 SEA Semesters and about an equal number of shorter seminar voyages, 2/3 of them sailing as Captain.

The grant will provide funding from 2007-2010 to purchase optical instruments for both vessels, process the data, and submit it to national archives. Data from these instruments will support student projects, faculty research, and NASA’s Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry Program. The grant also provides approximately one month per year of salary for an Assistant Scientist to process the data for submission to NASA’s database. Both vessels will be equipped with WET Labs instruments to measure inherent optical properties and basic bio- geochemical measurements including Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) fluorescence, in-vivo chlorophyll fluorescence, and beam attenuation (measured by a transmissome- ter) from both surface waters and depth profiles. CDOM correlates with the amount of dissolved organic carbon in the water, beam attenuation correlates with the total number of particles in the water, and in-vivo chlorophyll correlates with the amount of phytoplankton carbon Data from SEA cruise S-208 on SSV Robert C.
