Abstract:
The HMSC brought together three dozen scientists, engineers, educators, and
facilities managers from throughout the Pacific Northwest for a day-long workshop on May 14,
2007 to assess and prioritize infrastructure improvement needs for seawater pumping and
bay/ocean access in support of the HMSC’s research and education mission. Funded by a
National Science Foundation institutional planning grant, the primary objectives of the workshop
were to identify specific requirements and make the initial steps in designing new dock facilities
that will allow a variety of activities beyond existing capabilities.
