Upcoming: BIOS Marine Science Day

November 19, 2010

This coming Saturday [Nov 20] locals will have the opportunity to learn more about the ocean and land of our tiny mid-Atlantic island. The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences [BIOS] will hold its annual open house, Marine Science Day, at its Ferry Reach campus in St. George’s.

A wide range of research and tools will be on show at BIOS for the public to explore, from investigations of the ways climate change is affecting our oceans to studies of the microscopic plants and animals that live there, and from simple glass beakers to an ocean-going research ship. BIOS’s remotely operated mini submarine will zoom around in Ferry Reach, controlled on land by members of the public.
