22-YEAR-OLD SHOREHAM RESIDENT Nick Balfour recently returned from a six-week scientific expedition into the equatorial Pacific aboard the SSV Robert C. Seamans.

That’s because only a short time ago, the 22-year-old was among a group of 27 college students sailing the balmy equatorial Pacific on a six-week-long scientific odyssey during which, among other things, they gained a better understanding of the effects of climate change on vital marine nutrients.
