B.A.W.L.: 

The B.A.W.L.will be docked just outside of the Queen Mary near the beautiful Long Beach waterfront. The Jack Felts Vendor Hall will be located in the stern of the ship and less then 100 feet from the B.A.W.L. Attendees will be able to work on several different components such as actuators, probes, flow meters, sensors, heat exchangers, pumps and many others all while the system is operational. Our water quality series will be able to actively sample water from this system, and the bay, and will learn how to perform various water quality analysis.

Once again we will offer an assortment of hands on workshops this year. Visit the Workshop Abstracts link above for all the details on this year’s great workshops!
