Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn - Napoli

Europe has a very long and distinguished history in marine biology and its coastal marine biological stations are the oldest in the world. For example, Stazione Zoologica in Naples, Station Biologique in Roscoff and Kristineberg Marine Research Station in Fiskebäckskil were all established in the late 19th Century.

Even at that time these stations acted as international infrastructure sites to serve, enhance and develop collaborative marine research worldwide. Now the major marine research stations in Europe are developing new technologies and facilities that allow a higher quality of service, not only for the marine biologist community but also for other disciplines, like the increasing number of scientists that are turning to marine organisms as models.
