Preserve Walter Munk’s house for science
I am an oceanographer from Cambridge University in England, and like hundreds of other oceanographers worldwide, I was a personal friend of Walter Munk and found him to be the greatest inspiration for my career as a scientist.
More than a living legend, he was a living god to us lesser scientists. Many is the time that we have stayed in Seiche [Munk’s La Jolla home] and learned directly from Walter how he built the house with his own hands and to the design of his [then-]wife, Judith, whose sculptures adorn the walls.

When she was a child, La Jolla Shores resident Chiara Fresia dreamed of being a mermaid. Now, as a free diver and swim instructor, she uses a monofin bringing her closer to that dream.
A monofin is a device in which a swimmer puts both feet into one flipper, resembling a mermaid.
“When I was 8, I was sailing with my family back home in Italy and swimming on this beautiful smooth water. I thought if I became a mermaid, it would be kind of sad because I would have to give up all I have on land, but I still wanted to be a mermaid,” she said. “When I was 20, I got to try a monofin and a wave of emotion came over me. I realized I could be both!”
