Activities

The National Center for Marine Sciences-CNRSL was established in 1977. The decision to establish such a centre (1975) was the national response to the 1972 Stockholm Conference. The centre is a recognized institute within the Mediterranean network of marine centers and is integrated in a number of regional and international activities. Research activities at the center focus on three themes:

Monitoring of the coastal zone by creating a national observation network, modeling the cycles of contaminants and using bioindicators.
Evaluation of specific diversity by characterizing the living communities more particularly the migratory species and their habitats.
Production and transfer of matter in the coastal and marine ecosystems.
Fishery stock evaluation.

Within this framework, the actual skills cover the following aspects: Operational and physical oceanography, hydrological and hydrobiological parameters, marine biology, primary and secondary production and biodiversity, marine water and sediment chemistry and bacteriological contamination. - See more at: http://www.cnrs.edu.lb/site/SubPage.aspx?pageid=109#sthash.E5YutNpk.dpuf
