0087528乔伊斯海洋教育协会，公司，位于马萨诸塞州法尔茅斯的美国海洋研究所将为目前正在建造的一艘新帆船提供海洋学教育和研究仪器。SEA，Inc.教授海洋科学的实践课程给本科生、高中生和各种课程的教师，以及附近伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的研究生的定向课程。 这里提供的仪器由海洋科学司和本科教育司共同支持，是努力整合环境科学研究和教育的一个很好的例子。 将购置的船上使用的具体仪器包括声学多普勒海流剖面仪、遥控潜水器、用于部署海洋学仪器的辅助绞车、用于在监测站和拖曳上垂直部署的CTD仪器、连续流地表水分析系统、船上计算机网络、一套生物取样网和各种实验室仪器和显微镜系统，以及其他仪器。 SEA还提供了大量的非联邦资金，并支付了建造该船的费用。 伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所的技术人员提供仪器维护方面的协助。 这里支持的仪器将在2001年和未来几年帮助学生进行教育和研究。

0087528JoyceThis award to Sea Education Association, Inc., of Falmouth, Massachusetts, will provide instrumentation for oceanographic education and research for use on a new sailing vessel presently under construction. SEA, Inc. teaches hands-on programs in ocean sciences to undergraduate students, high school students, and teachers in various programs, as well as orientation programs for graduate students at the nearby Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The instrumentation provided here is jointly supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences and the Division of Undergraduate Education, and is an excellent example of efforts to integrate research and education in environmental sciences. Specific instrumentation to be acquired for shipboard use includes an acoustic doppler current profiler, a remotely operated vehicle, an auxiliary winch for deploying oceanographic instrumentation, CTD instrumentation for both vertical deployment on station and towing, a continuous-flow surface water analysis system, an on-board computer network, a suite of biological sampling nets and a variety of laboratory instruments and microscope systems, as well as other instrumentation. SEA is providing substantial instrumentation with non-federal funds as well, as well as paying the costs to build the vessel. Assistance with instrument maintenance is provided by the technical staff at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The instrumentation supported here will assist students in education and research during 2001 and future years.***
