NOAA is investing funds to build a new laboratory facility in Beaufort, North Carolina, following structural damage that forced the permanent closure of the original 62-year old building. The new lab space will allow NOAA to continue its mission of providing state of the art research and resource management tools in coastal North Carolina and across the United States. https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/noaa-to-build-new-laboratory-building-at-research-facility-in-beaufort-north-carolina/
