This project will support the development of an innovative strategic plan to broaden the user base, develop new capabilities, and help Flax Pond Marine Laboratory remain an epicenter for cutting edge global change research. Flax Pond Marine Laboratory (FPML - http://www.somas.stonybrook.edu/about/facilities/flax-pond-marine-laboratory/), operated by Stony Brook University, is located on a quiet salt marsh nestled within one of the few forested areas in the New York City metropolitan area. Unlike many marine laboratories that have remote locations, FPML is 50 miles from New York City on Long Island, NY, the home of nearly 8 million people and the most densely populated area in the US with over 2,151 people /km2. Over 40 state and private colleges and universities are within 60 miles of FPML and since its establishment in 1969, many colleges, state and federal agencies, high schools and non-profit environmental organizations have used and continue to rely on this facility. As scientific research priorities evolve, so too must the facilities needed to answer these complex questions. Modernizing accessible scientific facilities like FPML are critical to address the most important research priorities while at the same time meet the needs of a diverse group of users. Present and future users of FPML have identified facilities improvements that would modernize FPML, but there is no community consensus on which improvements should have priority, and how such improvements will help FPML users achieve short-term and long-term goals. A strategic plan for Flax Pond is critical to develop transformative multidisciplinary research and facilitate collaborations that will take best advantage of local research and training talent and interests. To devise an effective strategic plan this project will identify and prioritize needs of FPML users regionally and nationwide through a series of workshops and surveys. Site visits to other marine labs throughout the country will also be used to inform a 10-year strategic plan to upgrade facilities at Flax Pond.

该项目将支持制定创新战略计划，以扩大用户群、开发新功能，并帮助亚麻池海洋实验室保持前沿全球变化研究的中心地位。亚麻池海洋实验室（FPML - http://www.somas.stonybrook.edu/about/facilities/flax-pond-marine-laboratory/）由石溪大学运营，位于一片安静的盐沼上，坐落在纽约都会区为数不多的森林地区。与许多位置偏远的海洋实验室不同，FPML 位于纽约长岛，距纽约市 50 英里，这里有近 800 万人，也是美国人口最稠密的地区，每平方公里超过 2,151 人。 FPML 60 英里范围内有 40 多所州立和私立学院和大学，自 1969 年成立以来，许多学院、州和联邦机构、高中和非营利环境组织已经使用并继续依赖该设施。随着科学研究重点的发展，回答这些复杂问题所需的设施也必须如此。现代化可访问的科学设施（例如 FPML）对于解决最重要的研究重点，同时满足不同用户群体的需求至关重要。 FPML 当前和未来的用户已经确定了可以实现 FPML 现代化的设施改进，但对于哪些改进应优先考虑以及此类改进将如何帮助 FPML 用户实现短期和长期目标，社区尚未达成共识。亚麻池的战略计划对于发展变革性多学科研究和促进合作至关重要，从而充分利用当地研究和培训人才和兴趣。为了制定有效的战略计划，该项目将通过一系列研讨会和调查来确定地区和全国范围内 FPML 用户的需求并确定其优先顺序。对全国其他海洋实验室的实地考察也将用于制定升级亚麻池设施的十年战略计划。
