LEAHY
CENTER
FOR LAKE CHAMPLAIN |
A campus
dedicated to stewardship of the Lake Champlain Basin. |
|
The Patrick and Marcelle Leahy Center for Lake
Champlain is a 2.2 acre environmental campus on the
Burlington Waterfront, recognizing U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy's
lifelong dedication to the stewardship of the Lake Champlain
Basin.
The Leahy Center is home to:
*Two distinct programs utilize the Melosira:
Lake Champlain Live! for schools, and
Lake Champlain Floating
Laboratory, for the public. |
 |
 |
As part of its Waterfront revitalization, the City of Burlington sought
Senator Leahy's assistance in relocating the Naval Reserve
Center from the One College Street site. His efforts proved
successful and Burlington is now realizing its dream of using
the heart of its Waterfront for research, education, and
outreach to promote stewardship of Lake Champlain.
Senator Leahy has remained a partner in all of these efforts,
securing over half of the funding for ECHO as well as helping
the University complete funding for the Rubenstein Lab.
Elsewhere on the Burlington Waterfront, Senator Leahy is
responsible for the new U.S. Coast Guard Station and the
reconstruction of the breakwater guarding the harbor. |
| He has been the guiding force behind the Lake Champlain Basin
Program for well over a decade from his senior position on the
U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee:
As a historian and scuba diver, Senator Leahy has been a
strong supporter of the underwater Lake bottom side scan
sonar survey, and the work of the
Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. In January 2001, Senator
Leahy became a member of the
Smithsonian Board of Regents.

work on Lake Champlain, the environment, and other Vermont,
