MICROBES
MATTER
MARINE MICROBES SUPPLY MORE THAN HALF THE WORLD'S OXYGEN
(or every second breath you take) and underpin the entire marine food web.
Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences is the only independent basic
research institution in the world that focuses on microbial oceanography.
THIS YEAR, WE ARE CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF DISCOVERY. We are proud
to have materially added to what is known about the global ocean, how
it works, and the vital role of its tiniest inhabitants. What we are learning
will be essential to our conservation and responsible use of the ocean.
THAT IS WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS. You can make a difference in
global ocean health. Join Bigelow Laboratory in the pursuit of quality
education and scientific discoveries upon which our ocean, our society,
and our planet depend. Thank you!
