The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) is awarded a grant to expand its facilities at the Marshview Field Station near Plum Island Sound, north of Boston. Research in the Plum Island area includes research on the surrounding watersheds, as well as the estuarine areas and extensive tidal marshes. The Plum Island marshes are considered to be among the largest and most important salt marshes left in New England. In addition to supporting major commercial and recreational finfish and shellfish fisheries, the region is a world-renowned habitat for migratory birds. The site attracts researchers from all over the country and is home to the Plum Island Ecosystems Long-Term Ecological Research site. The proposed project will build an addition onto an existing barn and thereby increase the field laboratory space by 1,345 ft2 more than tripling the space currently available, and also provide space that is ADA compliant. The project will seal the shell of the existing barn to make it weather tight and provide for improvements in the lighting, plumbing and the electrical service. This will allow researchers to use the barn for dry storage, refrigerators, and freezers. The improvements will also provide year-round heated space for the computers that support automated instrumentation in the area. The server is currently in unheated space off site. Completion of this project will significantly improve the ability of researchers to use the site, allow the MBL to continue to broaden its research base, and facilitate cross-site comparisons by incorporating more scientists and students from other institutions into research and education at Plum Island. The renovations will also greatly enhance the educational and outreach components of our program by: 1) allowing undergraduate and graduate students from different programs to interact; 2) providing laboratory space sufficient for University classes to use the site for overnight field trips during the spring and fall; 3) providing basic lab space for our educational activities, which include K-12 and high school teacher training, 4) renovating in an environmentally sound manner, thereby strengthening our outreach activities to the general public, which focus on the impacts of human water use and sewage disposal in the watershed.

海洋生物实验室（MBL）被授予在波士顿北部Plum Island Sound附近的Marshview Field Station扩大其设施。梅花岛地区的研究包括对周围流域，河口区和广泛的潮汐沼泽的研究。 梅花岛沼泽被认为是新英格兰剩下的最大，最重要的盐沼之一。 除了支持主要的商业和休闲鳍鱼类和贝类渔业外，该地区是世界知名的候鸟栖息地。 该网站吸引了来自全国各地的研究人员，并且是梅花岛生态系统长期生态研究网站的所在地。 拟议的项目将增加现有谷仓的增加，从而使现场实验室空间增加1,345 ft2，而不是三倍，并提供了ADA符合ADA的空间。 该项目将密封现有谷仓的外壳，以使其天气紧张，并改善照明，管道和电气服务。 这将使研究人员可以使用谷仓进行干燥的储存，冰箱和冷冻机。 这些改进还将为支持该地区自动仪器的计算机提供全年的加热空间。 该服务器目前位于现场未加热的空间中。该项目的完成将显着提高研究人员使用该站点的能力，使MBL能够继续扩大其研究基础，并通过将更多的科学家和学生纳入Plum Island的研究和教育，从而促进跨站点比较。 翻新工程还将通过：1）允许来自不同计划的本科生和研究生进行互动来大大增强我们计划的教育和外展成分； 2）提供足够的实验室空间，可以在春季和秋季使用该站点进行过夜的实地考察； 3）为我们的教育活动提供基本的实验室空间，其中包括K-12和高中教师培训，4）以环保的方式进行翻新，从而加强了我们向公众的外展活动，该活动的重点是人类用水和污水处理的影响。有关Marshview现场站的更多信息，请访问http://pie-lter.ecosystems.mbl.edu/content/research-facilities。
