The Central Pacific

Congratulations to all who participated in last week's contest. Roz rowed 191 miles by Sunday evening. Congratulations Roz.

This week, let's take a look at the ocean around Roz's boat. Roz has entered a remote part of the central Pacific. She is far from land now. Could people on land be effecting her area of the ocean even though we are so far away? Do some research on the Central Pacific. What environmental concerns can you find for her area of the ocean?

How far will Roz get this week?

Here is your first question of the week. Roz has begun her row and we wish her well. Look at her Marine Tracker on her Main Tracker Page. As she works her way out from Hawaii, watch how far she travels each day. What is the average distance she is traveling each day? Before Friday, can you use that average to figure out how far she will have traveled by Sunday? Post the number of miles you think she will make in her first full week at sea. Be sure to post them by Friday to make it fair.
