Kim Malkoski
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Kim’s connection to the ocean started at a young age, with frequent trips to the beach, aquariums, and boat rides, as well as getting scuba-certified at 13. In 2008, she became the BSR Frank Scalli Intern and is now the President of the Boston Sea Rovers, making her the first woman president in the organization's 70-year history. As the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Diving Safety Officer, she's the first female and fourth overall in the institution’s history. Kim also serves as a dive supervisor on the civilian dive safety team at the Foundation for Underwater Research & Education’s International Submarine Races, held every two years at the Carderock Naval Warfare Center. As an NAUI instructor trainer, she evaluates diver authorization and training requirements for scientific divers. Kim is an advanced technical CCR diver, making her current participation in the developmental process of modifications/testing of current dive procedures more valuable, as well as research data collection with the Reef Solutions group, specifically in the mesophotic zone (30-70 meters) and on remote expeditions. She holds an MA in Sustainability and Environmental Management from the Harvard Extension School and a BS from the University of New England in Marine Biology.
