FSML: Improvements to the Anheuser-Busch Coastal Research Center: Enhancement of Dock Facilities to Support Research and Education

弗吉尼亚大学主校区获得一笔赠款，对码头设施进行三次改进，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来改善研究和教育的通道，以方便船只全潮进出;设计并安装一个带储水槽的直通式海水系统，用于对需要流动海水和现场条件的标本和实验进行短期维护。位于弗吉尼亚海岸保护区（VCR），在大西洋沿岸和墨西哥湾沿岸的海岸屏障生态系统研究的少数剩余的未开发地区之一。ABCRC接待来自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积极的外展计划，在任何潮汐阶段都可以轻松、安全地访问录像机，这将促进与当地社区（包括K-12学校）的实地活动。

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.
