UBC’s Open Water Research Station is scrambling for donors in hopes the facility can remain open after the U.S. government stopped funding the project, the Vancouver Sun reported.
“We still have so much to do here,” said Andrew Trites, a professor at UBC’s Marine Mammal Research Unit. “We have this incredible research facility right on the waters of Vancouver. If it closes down, it will never ever happen again. There is no other place like it.”
