Mission

Incorporated in 1926, the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) - formerly known as the Bermuda Biological Station for Research - 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.
