University of Maryland College Park (UMCP)
http://www.umcp.umd.edu/
The College Park campus of the University System of Maryland is the largest of the University's campuses and offers comprehensive programs in the arts, sciences, agriculture, engineering, and education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The campus, a land grant institution, is counted among the major research universities in the United States with support from federal, state, and private sources for its research activities. The location of the campus immediately adjacent to Washington, DC makes available to students the cultural and intellectual resources of the nation's capital.

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) is an 1890 Land Grant institution located in Princess Anne, MD. UMES is unique in its location midway between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Because of its location, the campus has concentrated in the areas of marine, estuarine and environmental sciences.
University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB)
http://www.umaryland.edu/
The University of Maryland Baltimore is located on 36 acres in downtown Baltimore. The UniversityOs campus is one of the country's first centers for professional education. The founding of the School of Medicine in 1807 provided the nucleus for the campus, which expanded in 1840 to include the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. Sharing the campus with these two schools today are the Schools of Law, Nursing, Pharmacy, Social Work, and Community Planning; an interprofessional Graduate School; and the University of Maryland Medical System.
University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC)
http://www.umbc.edu/
UMBC is situated on a rolling 500-acre campus 6 miles to the southwest of downtown Baltimore. It currently enrolls some 10,700 students in its undergraduate and graduate programs. It is a planned university, established in 1966. Departments that are particularly outstanding at UMBC include biological sciences, chemistry, and the fine arts. UMBC has a suburban setting, but is strategically located in the Northeast corridor. Baltimore, Washington, and College Park are all less than an hour away, and within 2 hours are minimally disturbed habitats in environments ranging from marine to Appalachian.

Appalachian Laboratory (AL)
http://www.al.umces.edu/
The Appalachian Laboratory was founded in 1962, and is located on the campus of Frostburg State University in the mountains of western Maryland. The mission of the Appalachian Laboratory is to conduct research in terrestrial and freshwater ecology and to participate in education and service activities at a variety of levels: public, undergraduate, and graduate. The major effort of the laboratory's research is the search for solutions to environmental problems associated with Maryland and the nearby mid-Atlantic region. International programs of research have been initiated in Europe, South America, and Africa. AL's latest initiative is directed toward research and restoration ecology of Maryland's landscapes and watersheds.

Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL)
http://www.cbl.umces.edu/
The Chesapeake Biological Laboratory at Solomons, Maryland, is one of the two marine laboratories of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. CBL was founded in 1925 by Dr. Reginald V. Truitt, and is located on the Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, a mid-Bay location at the mouth of the Patuxent River. The laboratory has close access to numerous marine habitats, from marshland and tidal creeks to the estuarine complex of the Chesapeake Bay. The facilities include over 1,400 square feet of culture facilities; environmental chemistry and geochemistry laboratories; analytical service laboratories; and a variety of scientific and field sampling equipment. The Chesapeake Biological laboratory is the home port of UMCES research vessels, the 65-foot R/V Aquarius, the 52-foot R/V Orion, and the 25-foot R/V Pisces for work throughout the Chesapeake Bay.

Horn Point Laboratory (HPL)
http://www.hpl.umces.edu/
The Horn Point Laboratory is located on the banks of the Choptank River near the city of Cambridge, Maryland. HPL faculty and students conduct research on freshwater, estuarine and oceanic environments in the Chesapeake Bay region and many other parts of the world. The HPL campus occupies the 850-acre former estate of Francis V. duPont on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Faculty offices, laboratories, classrooms, lecture hall, library, analytical services, and a state-of-the-art sea water system are housed in the Coastal and Estuarine Science Laboratory and the Ian Morris Marine Science Laboratory. Additional research facilities include a production scale hatchery, greenhouse, aquaculture ponds, mesocosms, and a boat basin and pier for small boat operations.
