The
ASU Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (known as
ASU BIOS) is a non-profit marine science and education institute located in
Ferry Reach,
St. George's, Bermuda and affiliated with the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory at
Arizona State University. The institute, founded in 1903 as the Bermuda Biological Station, hosts a full-time faculty of
oceanographers,
biologists, and
environmental scientists, graduate and undergraduate students, K-12 groups, and
Road Scholar (formerly

deep ocean as well as
coral reef and near shore habitats.
Prior to 5 September 2006, ASU BIOS was known as the
Bermuda Biological Station for Research (BBSR).
