Title
Bermuda Biological Station for Research, Inc.
Description
BBSR conducts world-class science and education from its unique mid-Atlantic location. We seek to improve society's understanding of marine ecosystems, ocean/atmospheric interactions and ocean health, and their influence on man's habitat and health. BBSR, an independent U.S. non-profit research organization and Bermuda Registered Charity, provides well-equipped facilities for scientists and students from Bermuda and around the world.
More than 100 years ago, the idea of establishing a station in Bermuda for research in biology and zoology was first considered, and in 1903, Harvard University, New York University and the Bermuda Natural History Society together established a marine biological station at Flatts Inlet. In 1926, BBSR was incorporated in New York as a U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. In 1932, the Bermuda Government and the Rockefeller Foundation joined forces to provide facilities and a modest endowment, and BBSR opened its present location on Ferry Reach.
Bermuda's mid-Atlantic location makes it an ideal place to study the environment for scientists and students from around the globe. The unique marine habitat around Bermuda includes elements of both northern and southern Atlantic fauna and flora, with northerly incursions of reef building corals and mangroves. Because of Bermuda's small size and mild climate, a great variety of habitats, including deep ocean water depths of over 12,000 feet, are readily accessible throughout the year with a minimum of effort.
