Dauphin Island Sea Lab opens state-of-art water-based research facility in Alabama

Dauphin Island Sea Lab

The Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL) is proud to announce the recent completion of its newest research facility- a multi-stressor wet lab. This water-based research facility is at the forefront of research facilities in the United States. It will expand the research opportunities for students, faculty, and visiting researchers at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new multi-stressor wet lab was held on Monday, January 23, 2023, with U.S. Treasury Department representative Dr. Bridget Cotti-Rausch, Alabama State Senator David Sessions (R-Grand Bay), and Dr. Amy Hunter with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR). In this new facility, researchers will be able to examine how marine organisms respond to multiple changes in environmental conditions simultaneously. These conditions include oxygen pH, salinity, and temperature. In comparison, most research wet labs only allow a researcher to examine the impact of one stressor at a time and establish a threshold for a single environmental change. However, this new multi-stressor lab at DISL will allow researchers to examine how one environmental change could be impacted by another at the same time. “This could be called a time machine, because we will be able to expose marine organisms to future conditions of varying levels,” DISL Senior Marine Scientist Dr. John Lehrter explains. “When you start to expose animals to multiple stresses, the threshold identified for one stress may change based on the combination of stresses exposed at one time.” “We’re going to have nutrient loading and we’re going to have warmer temperatures and we don’t know the consequences of those factors with our existing stressors to drive the productivity of the Gulf of Mexico,” DISL’s Executive Director Dr. John Valentine expressed during the ribbon cutting of the new facility. “We’re now set to do cutting-edge research that has global significance too.” The DISL campus was built from a repurposed U.S. Air Force base, and the wet lab has given new life to the facility’s original generator building. “Giving a nod to the fiscal stewardship of DISL, we were able to take an existing campus asset, and with support from the Alabama Legislature, transform it into a state-of-the-art research facility that will provide students, faculty, and researchers from the Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium with opportunities not found anywhere else,” says Valentine. Dr. Hunter with ADCNR commented on the transformation during the ribbon cutting, “This is exciting for the Sea Lab, for the Gulf Coast, and just for me personally as a former student and graduate of the Sea Lab to see what this used to be, which was when I was here an old storage facility to turn into this state of the art, multi stressor facility, that can really let us know what's going on here in our backyard.” Additional funding was provided by the U.S. Department of Treasury/Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Centers of Excellence Program under the Resources and Ecosystem Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of the Gulf States Act, also known as the RESTORE ACT, signed on July 6, 2012. Initially, the new wet lab will be instrumental for research projects funded through the Alabama Center of Excellence but will be available to researchers throughout the 22 Colleges and Universities that comprise the Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium in the near future. Some of the first projects that will utilize the lab include the impact of water quality changes on phytoplankton productivity and understanding what changes impact oyster recruitment in Alabama’s Coastal Waters. These are two projects funded by the Alabama Center of Excellence. Media Inquiry: Angela Levins, PR Director, DISL, 251-591-1865 (c), 251-861-2141, ext. 7509, (o) The Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL) is proud to announce the recent completion of its newest research facility- a multi-stressor wet lab.

UC Asset Will Cut Overhead To Increase Net Profit By $200K-300K

UC Asset LP

McapMediawire -- UC Asset LP (OTC: UCASU ) management announces that they will cut the company’s overhead by 30-40% for the year of 2023. This is projected to increase the company’s net profit by approximately $200,000 to $300,000. The company set its gross profit goal for the year of 2023 at $1 million. By the end of January, the company has sold a farmland and generated about $550,000 gross profit in cash. Therefore, it has achieved more than half of its annual gross profit goal in the very first month of the year. Now the management avows to reduce overhead cost, so that more of its gross profit will become net profit. Among other things, the company will considerably reduce the compensation paid to its management team, probably by 40%. “Even before the reduction, our management team only receive moderate amount of payment. Last year, management team received approximately $188,000 of compensation from the company,” says Greg Bankston, managing general partner of UC Asset, “This year, we will likely decrease the compensation to our management team by approximately $70,000.” “Our management team are committed to long term growth of our company. From the conception of UC Asset, our goal has been to build a portfolio of hundreds of million dollars,” asserts Larry Wu, founder of UC Asset. “We are not here working for instant paychecks. We are working for the long-term goal to build a company of greatness, and we are very confident that we will be compensated eventually for our success.” The reduction of overhead cost may add an extra net profit of $0.04 - $0.06 per share. According to its most recent annual report, the company posted net income of $0.13 per share for the year of 2021, which represented 400% growth over its $0.03 per share net income for the year of 2020. UC Asset had made cash dividend distribution twice in the past 5 years. Last year, it distributed $0.10 per share dividend to its shareholders.
