The northernmost Institute

Murmansk Marine Biological Institute (MMBI) - "One of the most northerly in the world of academic institutions where solve fundamental and applied scientific problems of modern marine biology, oceanography, ecology».

Murmansk Marine Biological Institute - the oldest institution of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the North. Since 1935, the Institute conducts comprehensive research of northern seas consistently expanding the geography of their works by Dalnezelenetskoy bay to ocean space from Iceland to the Laptev Sea. Since 1996, the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute has included in its focus southern sea, so now the focus of research of the Institute and the Barents Sea, and the Sea of ​​Azov.

Let's look at this "action" seasonal station.

1. The history of the Institute dates back to the second half of the XIX century, when in 1881, on the Solovetsky Islands White Sea on the initiative of the St. Petersburg Society of Naturalists was organized by Russia's first Marine Biological Station.





2. At the end of the XIX century the biological station transferred closer to the Arctic, to the port of Alexandrovsk (now Polar) Catherine Kola Bay harbor. In 1935, its successor became the Murmansk Biological Station of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in the village. Long Zelentsy reorganized in 1958 in the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute. In 1989 he was transferred to the city of Murmansk.



3. In 1998, a department of oceanography and biology of the southern seas in Rostov-on-Don, since 2001 Azov Branch of Murmansk Marine Biological Institute. MMBI preserves and actively uses the base for experimental work in the Far Zelentsy biological station on the archipelago of Franz Josef Land and Spitsbergen. In 1999, North Sea Biological Station was opened in the Kola Bay, in 2001 for the first time in recent decades, work began on the restoration of the scientific base on the archipelago, which the Institute took an active part.



4. After relocation to Murmansk Murmansk Marine Biological Institute, Dalnezelenetskaya Biological Station continues to operate and is scientific-experimental basis not only for the employees of Murmansk Marine Biological Institute, and numerous scientists, specialists and graduate students of other academic institutions and students. Every year at the biological station performing scientific work of more than 100 researchers from different institutes of RAS and other institutions have practice students from different universities of the country.



5. 1984-1992. on the basis of the biological station conducted research biotechnical systems with the use of marine mammals for the tasks of the Navy. Scientists in collaboration with specialists from the Northern Fleet to solve problems in an effective response to terrorism, scuba, surf wrecks, rescue of people in distress in the ocean water.



6. Depending on the specialization of the animals have been worked out practical skills: finding and marking the shallows metal objects moving in a free mode for speedboat coach breakdown diver with breathing apparatus and transport it to shore.



7. These are the texts that I found on the Internet. Frankly I find it hard to say by what I saw at the station that it operates. Apparently she was suspended for several years, and then completely looted. Left unattended at home in the climate began to crumble rapidly and is now the main building of the institute in Zelentsy is a sad spectacle. Incidentally, I would not be surprised if the "content" of this economy are allocated a lot of money.



8. Miscellaneous equipment, chemicals and some scientific data, as well as a library simply abandoned and rotting in the harsh northern climate.
