Marine Laboratory
This marine lab is located about one hundred feet from the shore of Harpswell Sound. Large windows along the ocean side afford views of the Sound and gorgeous sunsets, both seen through the intervening forest.
The lab is equipped with running sea water and currently there are sixteen aquaria available for research and teaching. There is one large flow tank for studying the effects of flow on marine organisms and plans call for two additional flow tanks and a large wave tank. In addition, four special large tables with sea water aquaria insets aid in the observation of marine life. There is a computer work space and plans call for a discussion/seminar room. Biology, geology and environmental studies courses use the lab. In addition students and faculty have ongoing research projects in this lab.
