The Field Research Station is Created
Groundbreaking
After securing the appropriate permits, finalizing construction plans, and demolishing the dilapidated preexisting structure, we broke ground on the field research station in early July 2021. A wide host of supporters and friends gathered to celebrate with us on July 22, 2021.
The building came together through the collaborative efforts of the OPAL Build crew, Dan Miller of Belmont Boatworks, and Rockland Marine Corporation. Prefabricated panels were loaded onto trucks and driven onto the landing craft ISLAND TRANSPORTER and then unloaded and installed via the Belmont Boatworks crane.
