This proposal requests funding to improve the existing flow-through seawater system at the Coastal and Marine Institute Laboratory (CMIL) of San Diego State University. The current laboratory houses marine science faculty and is a shared use facility with the U.S. Geological Survey. The proximity of CMIL to San Diego Bay, situated in an urban environment, provides opportunities for both basic and applied research. The existing seawater system has chronic problems with total suspended solids and episodic problems with lower salinity. The requested enhancements to the seawater system will provide consistent, high- quality seawater. The availability of quality seawater is vital to sustain and continue growth of research and educational activities at CMIL, providing faculty and students at SDSU and at other institutions ample opportunities and experience.Broader ImpactsThere was good integration of education at many levels from middle school through high school by way of specific high school training programs. CMIL hosts a variety of educational programs including research training of undergraduates, public open houses, middle- and high school research-training programs focusing on underrepresented minorities, teacher training workshops, etc. SDSU has excellent track record with minority education in general (top 10 of awarding degrees to Hispanics). Approximately thirty graduate students and undergraduates use the CMIL for research projects.

该提案要求资金改善圣地亚哥州立大学沿海和海洋研究所实验室（CMIL）现有的流通海水系统。当前的实验室设有海洋科学教师，是美国地质调查局的共同使用设施。 CMIL靠近城市环境中的圣地亚哥湾，为基础研究和应用研究提供了机会。现有的海水系统存在慢性问题，总悬浮固体和盐度降低的情节问题。 对海水系统的要求增强功能将提供一致的高质量海水。优质海水的可用性对于维持CMIL的研究和教育活动的增长至关重要，为SDSU和其他机构提供教职员工和学生，充分的机会和经验至关重要。BoarDer的影响力是通过在高中通过特定高中培训计划的高中层面上的许多层次的教育整合。 CMIL举办了各种教育计划，包括对本科生的研究培训，公共开放式房屋，中学和高中研究培训计划，重点是代表人数不足的少数群体，教师培训讲习班等。SDSU拥有出色的往绩，并在一般（授予西班牙裔学士学位的前十名）中拥有少数派教育）。大约30名研究生和本科生将CMIL用于研究项目。
