MLML has been housed in temporary facilities since the destructive Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, which destroyed their laboratory facilities, and the new building is nearing completion. It lacks a modern computing network, however, in part because funds for building replacement were very slow in coming, and are not intended for new capabilities; the modern LAN necessary for ocean sciences research and teaching did not exist a decade ago. The present award will provide 70% of the costs of acquisition of file server computers, peripherals, network installation, testing and certification, network hardware and support equipment for this research network, with non-federal cost-sharing by MLML providing the remaining 30% of costs. ***
