Seawater Facilities

A hallmark of the ESL is a large flexible seawater system for husbandry of live marine and estuarine organisms. Approximately 50 flowing seawater tables are located at the facility, some inside and others outdoors. Tanks of various sizes are available for use in either flow-through or recirculating modes. A seawater quarantine system provides the capability to conduct work on nonindigenous species.
