The University of Virginia Main Campus is awarded a grant to make three enhancements of a dock facility that will strengthen the research and educational mission of the Anheuser-Busch Coastal Research Center (ABCRC). The project will add fuel and electrical power to the ABCRC dock; improve access for research and education by adding a ramp and floating platform to facilitate all-tide access to boats; and design and install a flow-through seawater system with holding tanks for short-term maintenance of specimens and experiments that require running seawater and in situ conditions.The Anheuser-Busch Coastal Research Center (ABCRC) is located at the Virginia Coast Reserve (VCR), one of the few remaining undeveloped areas on the Atlantic seaboard and Gulf coast available for study of the coastal barrier ecosystems. The ABCRC hosts undergraduates, graduates and research faculty from 7 institutions. The ABCRC also has an active outreach program with the local community, and having easy, and safe, access to the VCR at any tidal stage will facilitate field-based activities with the local community, including the K-12 schools.

弗吉尼亚大学主校区获得了一笔赠款，用于对一个码头设施进行三次增强，以加强安海斯-布希海岸研究中心(ABCRC)的研究和教育使命。该项目将为ABCRC码头增加燃料和电力；通过增加坡道和浮动平台以方便全潮进入船只，改善研究和教育的通道；设计和安装一个带有储水罐的流动海水系统，用于短期维护需要流动海水和原地条件的标本和实验。Anheuser-Busch海岸研究中心(ABCRC)位于弗吉尼亚海岸保护区(VCR)，这是大西洋沿岸和墨西哥湾海岸为数不多的可用于研究海岸屏障生态系统的未开发区域之一。ABCRC接待了来自7个机构的本科生、毕业生和研究人员。ABCRC还与当地社区开展了一项积极的外展计划，在任何潮汐阶段都可以轻松、安全地进入VCR，这将促进与当地社区(包括K-12学校)的实地活动。
