In Durham, Senator Shaheen attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at the University of New Hampshire to celebrate the expansion of its Jackson Estuarine Laboratory. The Jackson Estuarine Laboratory is located on the shores of Great Bay Estuary, one of the largest estuaries in Northern New England, and it supports research efforts into coastal ecosystems, environmental quality and the connection between watershed and human health. As then-Chair of the Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee, Shaheen secured $3.8 million in federal funding to support the project, which includes a 4,500 square foot expansion, the construction of a new high bay space for marine operations and upgraded amenities and facilities to support data collection, student training and innovation.
