The primary mission of the FSU Marine Laboratory is to support and foster, research and training programsin the coastal sciences. The laboratory is known for providing high quality seawater for experimental workand easy access to a variety of coastal habitats. The laboratory is utilized by FSU faculty, staff, and studentsfrom several campus-based departments, especially the Departments of Biological Sciences and Oceanography, as well as visitors from other universities and organizations. The laboratory supports research, student training, and public outreach programs. All of these programs involve the laboratory maintenance and/or manipulation of marine organisms and each requires seawater. The present seawater intake system is located in shallow water. Because of this location the laboratory is subject to frequent disruptions in service owing to damage to the pipe and intake by fisherman and storms. Duringextreme low tides the intake manifold lies exposed and resuspended sediments arising from turbulence cause damage to the pumps. These problems limit service and make the system extremely costly to maintain. This project will allow the relocation of intake manifold to deeper water and the relocation and burial of the intake lines. Completion of this project will insure that the laboratory is able to continue to provide the high quality seawater that is needed for the many research and training activities that take place at the laboratory.

前苏联海洋实验室的主要使命是支持和促进沿海科学的研究和培训计划。 该实验室以提供高质量的海水用于实验工作而闻名，并易于进入各种沿海栖息地。 该实验室由FSU的教师，工作人员和学生从几个校园为基础的部门，特别是生物科学和海洋学的部门，以及来自其他大学和组织的游客使用。 该实验室支持研究，学生培训和公共推广计划。 所有这些项目都涉及实验室维护和/或海洋生物的操作，每个项目都需要海水。 目前的海水取水系统位于浅水区。 由于这个位置，实验室经常因渔民和风暴对管道和进水口的破坏而中断服务。 在极端低潮时，进气歧管暴露在外，湍流引起的再悬浮沉积物会损坏泵。 这些问题限制了服务，并使系统维护成本极高。 该项目将允许将进气歧管迁移到更深的水域，并迁移和掩埋进气管线。 该项目的完成将确保实验室能够继续提供实验室进行的许多研究和培训活动所需的高质量海水。
