Our Setting

The Triton Initiative is located at the Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory (MCRL) at PNNL-Sequim. MCRL sits at the mouth of Sequim Bay on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula and links a small, relatively undisturbed embayment to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the body of water separating the United States and Canada, to the Pacific Ocean.  

PNNL maintains a variety of vessels, facilities, and equipment to enable research, provide a platform for development of instrumentation and data collection, and support software design and data analysis and the evaluation of potential impacts to marine systems. 

Take a virtual tour of the Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory!
See how a beautiful section of Sequim Bay is home to cutting edge research. The Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory a part of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is the U.S. Department of Energy’s only marine research facility. Located in Sequim, Washington, is uniquely positioned for marine-based research that is focused on helping the nation achieve sustainable energy, a sustaining environment, and coastal security. Projects at MCRL span algal biofuels, biofouling and biocorrosion, climate change and ocean acidification, marine renewable energy, environmental monitoring, quantification of transport and effects of chemicals in marine environments, and coastal risk and hazard prediction and analysis.
