Dr. Robert Whitlatch is Head of the Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Connecticut. He proposes construction of a controlled-condition seawater system at the University's Avery Point campus at Groton. This seawater system will support experimental studies of marine and estuarine organisms under controlled manipulations of water filtration, temperature, and salinity. The proposed seawater system for experimental research will be a unique facility on Long Island Sound, and will attract research scientists from a broad region. Studies of recruitment and population growth will take on added dimensions as a result of access to the proposed facility. These studies will address a range of topics from basic marine biology and physiology, to the effects of society on marine habitats, to the impact and control of fouling organisms on human-built structures.

罗伯特·惠特拉奇博士是康涅狄格大学海洋科学系主任。他建议在该大学位于格罗顿的艾弗利角校区建造一个条件可控的海水系统。这个海水系统将支持在水过滤、温度和盐度的控制下对海洋和河口生物进行实验研究。拟议的用于实验研究的海水系统将是长岛海峡上的一个独特设施，将吸引来自广泛地区的研究科学家。由于可以使用拟议的设施，对征聘和人口增长的研究将具有更多的层面。这些研究将涉及一系列专题，从基本海洋生物学和生理学，到社会对海洋生物栖息地的影响，再到污损生物对人类建造的结构的影响和控制。
