Dauphin Island Sea Lab Suffers Major Damage due to Hurricane Sally

The Dauphin Island Sea Lab suffered severe damage to several of the buildings on campus due to Hurricane Sally.  

 

“Our research building is heavily damaged,” Dr. John Valentine Executive Director of DISL in an al.com interview. “We’ve lost a good bit of roofing here and there, the graduate student dormitory has no roof on it to speak of.” Not every building is damaged, but there are “roofing nails everywhere,” which is never a good sign. One of the lab’s smaller boats was sunk. 

 
It will require a complicated choreography to repair the buildings and conduct Marine Research and it will take some time.  The staff is working on a plan now to begin the recovery process.  In the end The Sea Lab will and its students will prevail and the campus will be even better than before.
 
The DISL's most important resource is safe - the people. The rest can be replaced. But the heart and soul of the DISL has always been the incredible staff, students and scientists.

Why Donate

 

A young child's trip to the Estuarium, the DISL's Aquarium, sparks the imagination.  Time spent with our Discovery Hall Program's educators grows the desire to study marine science leading many to pursue college degrees.  University Programs create focus on research.

 

 

Every reason for supporting and donating is different, but every donation matters. Your donation enhances the Dauphin Island Sea Lab's educational, research and service programs.

 

Support Education

 

"The course style influenced me in the college that I eventually attended. I am very thankful for the Marine Science Course and the Sea Lab.  It was my first step into a field of study which I still find very interesting."

 

Autumn, Marine Science Course for High School Students.

Support Research

 

"The diversity of these experiences and being exposed to different lab techniques and a variety of field work has really helped me as a young scientist."

 

Ph.D. Student Jesse Gwinn

Support Campus

 

"I wanted to come to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab because of the researchers and the resources", Rodriguez explained.  "It's a close environment with easy access to faculty and everyone is excited to help you."

 

Masters Graduate, Alex Rodriguez

New Campus Campaign

The DISL Foundation would like to thank Dr. Joseph and Jackie Busta and Mr. Bill Haffner for their recent generous gifts to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab to help support campus.

 

 

Dr. and Mrs. Busta honored their daughter and son in law, Melea and Curt, whose romance blossomed at the Lab 30 years ago while they attended the Summer High School Marine Science Camp.

 

Bill Haffner honored his late wife Betsy, an exceptional educator, with a sign on the meeting room in the Wiese building.

 

The DISL Foundation is supporting the DISL campus through a program of naming opportunities.  The entire campus is up for grabs!  Opportunities start as little as $1000 and span up to $100,000. Almost any size gift within this range has a room just waiting for you to claim it. 

 

 To find out more contact Helene Hassell, hhassell@disl.org or call 251-605-6624.
