**HURRICANE WILMA RECOVERY UPDATE**
*Waterfront Update* Our waterfront reconstruction project is nearing completion. However, it will take slightly longer than originally expected. We will maintain partial operations for the next few months while we continue to restore and improve our facilities. Please contact us to determine if we can meet your education and research needs during our extended recovery process.
During this process our services are very limited. We have one dormitory and a single boat in operation, exclusively for onsite visiting group needs. Our specimen collection will not resume until we can rebuild our seawater system upon waterfront completion. Dates are limited so please contact us to discuss availability or collection alternatives.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding, concern, support and especially your patience during our lengthy recovery process. As they say, good things come to those that wait. We are confident everyone will concur once our new and improved facility is complete!
