This project will underwrite improvements in the small boat and diving programs at Moss Landing MarineLaboratories (MLML). A Maine-style lobster vessel will be converted into a vessel used for teaching andresearch. The conversion will include: installation of an "A" frame, winch and wire, and hydraulics forlaunching and recovering scientific sampling gear (e.g. trawls, benthic sleds,plankton nets, benthic grabs, corers, CTD's camera sleds,side scan sonar fishes, etc.) An observation deck will be installed above the wheel house, requiring moving and installing the radar and antennas onto a new higher mast. A bulkhead would be constructed aft of the wheel house. One small boat will be purchased and outfitted with outboards, steering linkage, and electronics. SCUBA air compressor will be purchased to replace a 23 year old compressor.Moss Landing Marine Laboratories operates one of the most active educational and research facilities formarine sciences in the U.S. Of the approximately 100 graduates students in the marine science Master's program at any time, about 80 will use the small boats for class projects, class field trips, or research projects for their for their Master's degree. Not only does the accessibility of small boats at MLML allowstudents a great deal of field experience, many become trained and experienced with handling small boats and related sampling equipment. In 1993, a survey by the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS)reported MLML had the third most active scientific dive program in the U.S. The dive equipment at MLML isused for classes (Marine Science Diving and Subtidal Ecology)and for many of the Master's research projects.The replacements and upgrades in the small boats and diving programs at MLML will greatly improve the facilities and equipment for undergraduate and graduate education and research in marine science at MLML.Small boats will be used for offshore and estuarine course activities, research by visiting faculty, and use by neighboring researchers. Improvements in the diving program would benefit the courses and researchresearch that require diving and visiting researchers that use the MLML facilities.

该项目将在Moss Landing Marinelaboratories（MLML）的小船和潜水计划中进行改进。 缅因州风格的龙虾船将被转换为用于教学和研究的船只。 转换将包括：安装“ A”框架，绞车和电线，以及液压宣传和恢复科学抽样装备（例如，拖网，底栖雪橇，浮游球网，浮游网络，底栖动物抓取，底栖动物，Corers，CTD，CTD的相机，侧面的吊带板，侧面扫描式的套装以及上面的安装套装，将安装在上面的内部安装，将套装安装到上面的套装，并安装了一定的移动套件较高的桅杆。 舱壁将在车轮房屋的船尾建造。 一艘小船将被购买并配备舷外，转向连接和电子设备。 水肺空气压缩机将被购买以替换23年的压缩机。MOSSLANDING MARINE LABORATORIES经营着美国在美国大约100名毕业生的教育和研究设施的官方科学之一。 在MLML允许学生们的野外经验中，小船的可及性不仅可以通过处理小船和相关采样设备而受过训练和经验。 1993年，美国美国水下科学学院（AAUS）的一项调查报告称，MLML是美国第三个最活跃的科学潜水计划，MLML的潜水设备用于班级（海洋科学潜水和潮汐生态学），并且在许多硕士的研究项目中，在小船和潜水设备中，MLML的替代品和高级设备都将在MLM的培训中进行，并在MLML的培训中进行了良好的培训，并在MLMM的培训方面和培养设备上都在MLML的培养项目中，并将MLML的海洋科学研究将用于近海和河口课程活动，访问教师的研究以及邻近研究人员的使用。 潜水计划的改进将使需要潜水和访问MLML设施的研究人员的课程和研究研究受益。
