9310936, PI-Shapiro: With this project, the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology will improve its seawater system. The facility has undergone a recent expansion, resulting in a doubling of resident faculty. The number of active research programs has tripled, and an additional new faculty position will begin in September 1993. The expansion has also resulted in an increased use of the present seawater system, along with increased need for reliability in support of funded research programs. Specifically, the plan is to improve the seawater intake system, construct a second pumping system to be placed in parallel with the existing system, duplicate the piping from pump to storage tanks, provide a back up air compressor system, and provide a monitoring and alarm system. The improvements were designed with redundancy, serviceability, and performance as prime criteria, and should result in a much increased level of security for on going research programs. The workplan is excellent. The facility is growing at a rapid rate in terms of productive research use. Research projects supported by the facility are significant to modern understanding and management of marine resources as well as to fields of basic biology.

9310936，PI夏皮罗：通过这个项目，俄勒冈州海洋生物研究所将改善其海水系统。 该设施最近进行了扩建，使常驻教师人数增加了一倍。 积极研究方案的数目增加了三倍，1993年9月将开始增加一个新的教员职位。 扩建还导致了对现有海水系统的使用增加，沿着增加了对支持资助研究计划的可靠性的需求。 具体而言，计划包括改善海水入口系统、建造第二个与现有系统平行的抽水系统、将水泵与储水罐之间的管道复制、提供备用空气压缩机系统，以及提供监测和警报系统。 这些改进是以冗余、可服务性和性能为主要标准设计的，应该会大大提高正在进行的研究项目的安全水平。 工作计划非常出色。 该设施在生产性研究用途方面正在快速增长。 该设施支持的研究项目对现代认识和管理海洋资源以及基础生物学领域具有重要意义。
