Bermuda Biological Station

West End Area

This is a center for major research, founded in 1903 by Harvard University, New York University, and the bermuda Natural History Society. Still functioning today, there is a resident staff and all sorts of visiting researchers at all times. On Wednesdays they give a free tour to anyone interested in their research on marine life, coral ecology, and oceanography. Research done here at BBSR plays a pivotal role in today's field of climate change. The one-hour tour will

lead you to visit the research vessels and their prestigious labs. It's a free tour, but they do accept donations. There's also an impressive lecture hall and a good library here for visiting students and professors. Much work is also done here on acid rain, in any number of the thirteen labs here.
