Program Summary

OIMB is located on the mouth of Coos Bay, in Charleston, Oregon, a 2.5 hour drive from the main UO campus in Eugene. OIMB is embedded within a diverse array of marine and estuarine habitats, ranging from the highest-energy rocky shores and the open ocean to the calmest of salt marshes or a busy marina hosting productive fisheries. Eastern Pacific Ocean biodiversity is rich, exciting, and full of opportunities for fundamental discovery or applied science. The Institute is an optimal site for research and teaching, with a resident faculty, graduate program, and a well-developed, popular, and rigorous undergraduate major in Marine Biology. The field station includes modern research laboratories, a brand-new research vessel, library, laboratory classrooms and auditorium, dining hall, dormitories, and accommodations for visiting scientists (http://oimb.uoregon.edu). The campus includes the Charleston Marine Life Center (a well-attended cross between museum, aquarium, and outreach center) and shares space collaboratively with neighboring South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
