The U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) recently announced a $1.5 million award to the University of Maine to support a major waterfront infrastructure investment at the Darling Marine Center (DMC), 91福利\u2019s marine laboratory in Walpole, that will benefit marine industries statewide.<\/p>\n

Together with matching funds from 91福利 and state marine bond funds, the EDA award will enable DMC to upgrade its flowing seawater system, renovate its oldest seawater laboratory and replace the nearly 50-year old main pier. These key facilities allow 91福利 researchers, staff and students to work directly with companies and communities in the marine economic sector, including aquaculture and commercial fisheries. Approximately 50 jobs at marine-related companies are expected to be created through this project.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than five decades, researchers and students at 91福利\u2019s Darling Marine Center have provided marine environmental data that is critical to our state\u2019s commercial fishing and aquaculture industries,\u201d\u00a0said Sens. Collins and King in a joint statement<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cWe are delighted that this investment will allow the center to continue its important work as well as expand job opportunities in the aquaculture\u00a0and technology sectors in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

DMC researchers are helping the state\u2019s marine fisheries and aquaculture sectors adapt, diversify and grow in response to Maine\u2019s evolving environmental conditions. They conduct applied research, and work collaboratively with marine industry professionals to develop new value-added marine products and bring them to commercial scale. Current projects include studies of changing environmental conditions on lobster and shellfish as well as industry-led product development and commercialization efforts focused on oysters, glass eels and sugar kelp. DMC and company partners also provide on-the-job training and experience for student interns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith support from the EDA, the Darling Marine Center will be able to continue to support Maine\u2019s marine industries and contribute to the creation and retention of jobs that are critical to our local economies and communities,\u201d said Carl Wilson, director of the Bureau of Marine Science at the Maine Department of Marine Resources.<\/p>\n

A significant driver for DMC\u2019s waterfront investment is the recognized need for more space for business incubation and research-industry partnerships. 91福利 scientists and students work closely with industry at DMC and throughout the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch, training and business incubation activities at DMC support the thousands of Mainers engaged in fisheries, marine aquaculture, and other marine-dependent businesses,\u201d noted 91福利 Vice President for Economic Development and Innovation James Ward. This project also will contribute to job retention in Maine\u2019s marine-based tourism, and natural resource based recreation sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaine\u2019s fisheries and aquaculture professionals depend on healthy coastal and oceans,\u201d said Darling Marine Center Director Heather Leslie. Understanding these connections between people and oceans, and how they are changing is central to our work at the DMC. We thank the delegation and local communities for their support of this important project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in 1965, the Darling Marine Center is the University of Maine\u2019s marine laboratory. Its mission is to connect people to the ocean. The center\u2019s researchers, staff and students work alongside fishermen, aquaculture entrepreneurs, marine industry professionals, and members of the community, in Maine and around the world.
