  • 2019 Annual Report
    Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences Annual Report 2019 Contents 3 Letter from the Chair and the President 6 Research 11 Education 15 Financial Highlights 20 Leadership 22 Faculty and Staff Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences Cover photo by Alex Pilgrim and contents page photo by Tiffany Wardman Letter from the Chair & the President Partnerships and collaborations have always been at the heart of BIOS’s scientific and education endeavors. More than a century ago, the introduction of a marine science field station in Bermuda was the direct result of governments and academia working together to address the growing need for more robust oceanic observations. Today, BIOS continues to benefit from active cooperation among various sectors, collaborations between researchers, and educational partnerships that cut across disciplines and borders. This report highlights some of the successes that BIOS has achieved in 2019 arising from our strong professional relationships both locally and around the world. Research efforts in 2019 relied upon cooperation between BIOS, external research and education collaborators, industry, and private organizations. Advances in technology helped to bolster existing monitoring capacity on the container vessel Oleander , leveraging the ship’s weekly travel between Bermuda and New Jersey to enhance data collection within ecologically and climatically important regions of the western North Atlantic Ocean. A grant-funded collaboration between scientists and interns at BIOS and the Bermuda Government Department of Environmental and Natural Resources resulted in a novel study demonstrating the value of population genetics for informing and adapting fisheries management measures. And BIOS scientists and educators leveraged funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to create a unique opportunity for local participation in oceanographic research aboard our research vessel, the Atlantic Explorer.
