We released seven million oyster babies in the tanks here at Northwest Maritime.

At 97, he leaves behind a life that helped define our direction, our curiosity, and our sense of possibility. Beyond being the first American to summit Mt. Everest, Jim was an accomplished sailor, a humanitarian and an advocate for peace, and a passionate conservationist.
