Acquisition of Dormitory Facility for University of Guam Marine Laboratory

罗伯特·里士满博士是关岛大学海洋实验室主任，该实验室是美国在西太平洋唯一的海洋研究机构。该实验室被来自美国和世界上许多其他国家的常驻和访问研究人员积极使用，该设施正迅速成为热带海洋研究的国际合作中心。里士满博士建议建造一个宿舍设施，供访问研究科学家和在实验室上课的学生使用。拟议的住房设施将缓解目前的拥挤状况，并将允许访问研究人员扩大使用研究设施。关岛大学的海洋实验室将继续发展成为一个面向全球的国际研究中心。热带海洋生境的重要生物研究将受益于拟议的设施改善。

Dr. Robert Richmond is the Director of the University of Guam's Marine Lab, which is the only U.S. marine research facility in the western Pacific. The Lab is actively used by resident and visiting investigators from the U.S. and many other countries of the world, and this facility is fast becoming a center for international collaboration on tropical marine research. Dr. Richmond proposes construction of a dormitory facility for use by visiting research scientists, and by students taking courses at the Lab. The proposed housing facilities will relieve current crowding and will allow expanded use of the research facilities by visiting investigators. The University of Guam's Marine Lab will continue to develop into a globally-oriented locus of international research. Important biological research in tropical marine habitats will benefit from the proposed facilities improvement.
