This award supports purchase of boats, diving equipment and facilities at the Long Marine Laboratory (LML) of the University of California Santa Cruz. These improvements in facilities and equipment will allow the Diving and Boating Safety Programs (DBSP) to meet the growing numbers and needs of students and researchers. Funds will be used to equip a new Marine Support Facility with scuba cylinder racks, Nitrox tank-charging equipment, cabinets, and heating and ventilation systems. The new facility will provide students and researchers with areas for staging, fabrication and maintenance of diving and scientific equipment. The award will augment institutional funds to be used for site preparation, foundation, rough carpentry and minimal interior finish work. In addition, the award will support purchase of a 16' inflatable boat, a 22' fiberglass vessel and 3 outboard engines. A forklift will also be purchased to move boats and heavy gear on the grounds of the facility. Since 1976, the LML has been the coastal research laboratory for the University's Institute of Marine Sciences. The laboratory is located on a coastal bluff adjacent to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, the nation's largest National Marine Sanctuary. The LML Education Program (K-12) and aquarium displays serve 35,000 visitors each year. The Diving and Boating Safety Program provides support for faculty, staff, student and visiting researchers in biology, chemistry and earth sciences. Approximately one-third of the University's 300 undergraduate Marine Biology students use the scuba diving and small boat facilities in classes or as part of their research.

该奖项支持在加州大学圣克鲁斯的Long Marine Laboratory（LML）购买船只，潜水设备和设施。这些设施和设备的改进将使潜水和划船安全计划（DBSP）能够满足学生和研究人员不断增长的数量和需求。资金将用于装备一个新的海洋支持设施与水肺气瓶架，高氧坦克充电设备，橱柜，加热和通风系统。 新设施将为学生和研究人员提供潜水和科学设备的集结、制造和维护区域。 该奖项将增加机构的资金，用于场地准备，基础，粗木工和最低限度的内部装修工作。此外，该奖项将支持购买一艘16'充气船，一艘22'玻璃纤维船和3个舷外发动机。还将购买一辆叉车，用于在该设施的场地上移动船只和重型装备。自1976年以来，LML一直是该大学海洋科学研究所的沿海研究实验室。该实验室位于海岸海崖上，毗邻美国最大的国家海洋保护区蒙特雷湾国家海洋保护区。LML教育计划（K-12）和水族馆展览每年为35，000名游客提供服务。潜水和划船安全计划为生物学，化学和地球科学的教职员工，学生和访问研究人员提供支持。大约三分之一的大学的300名本科海洋生物学学生使用的水肺潜水和小船设施在课堂上或作为他们的研究的一部分。
