Abstract

The Woods Hole site of the Marine Biological Laboratory is adjacent to that chosen for work of the U. S. Fish Commission by Spencer F. Baird in 1871. In most ecological respects, it remains an excellent locus for marine research, with strong tidal currents ensuring a supply of pure sea water and with a reasonably diverse fauna and flora. Despite local environmental risks, there are grounds for cautious optimism that both Woods Hole and Naples (Ischia laboratory) can continue to provide opportunities for all kinds of biological research utilizing healthy marine organisms.
