The Roscoff Biological Station (SBR) is a research and teaching center in marine biology and ecology under the supervision of Sorbonne University and the CNRS. It was founded by Henri de Lacaze-Duthiers in 1872. In 2022, we celebrate the 150th anniversary of this institution, one of the oldest marine stations in the world still active today. The work carried out there continuously since that date mainly aims to better understand the evolution of life, as well as the functioning of ecosystems and the adaptation of marine organisms to environmental changes. The Roscoff Biological Station focuses on the fundamental biology and biodiversity of marine ecosystems, following the most modern methods of biology and ecology. The main experimental models in the station's tanks and laboratories include bacteria, plants (micro- and macro-algae), invertebrate animals (sea urchins, sea squirts) and vertebrates (dogfish)...
The Station has a rich history, with many famous names passing through, including scientists and artists like Mathurin Méheut, who spent the years 1910-12 there with his family. Closely linked to the life of the corsair city, its distinctive buildings are ideally located in Roscoff, facing the sea and the island of Batz, and have welcomed researchers from all over the world since its inception.
