It is with great pleasure that I recount the past year at the Marine Biological Laboratory and contemplate its future, for in my first nine months at the Laboratory I have come to appreciate its many resources and its potential.

What did 1992 bring to the Marine Biological Laboratory? Marine Resources Center Our most visible achievement of 1992 was the June 20th opening of the MBL's new Marine Resources Center. Senators Edward M. Kennedy and John Kerry, Congressman Gerry Studds, and NIH Deputy Director Jay Moskowitz participated in the opening ceremonies, which were attended by more than 500 members of the MBL and Woods Hole communities. We owe a great debt of gratitude to Harlyn Halvorson, for his tireless efforts towards making this milestone project a reality. The new Marine Resources Center provides state-of- the-art engineering systems and advanced laboratory and mariculture facilities, as well as a collaborative veterinary program through the University of Pennsylvania's Laboratory for Marine Animal Health, directed by Donald Abt. Dr. Alan M. Kuzirian has been appointed Acting Director of the new Center. The MRC is reporting early successes in maintaining a healthier and more reliable supply of marine organisms. For example, a new generation of dogfish has been born and is thriving in our circulating seawater tanks. Species requiring cold seawater are now available to researchers into the summer months as a result of improved chilled seawater holding facilities. Warmer-water species such as toadfish and scup are being maintained in the facility well past the time when they wo
