Seawater and Marine Science Research Facilities (MSRF) are integrated facilities housed at the URI Graduate School of Oceanography Bay Campus that serve multi-users to support research and training on marine life. These facilities provide and have direct access to flowing seawater pumped via safe and environmentally sustained systems. With this access, researchers who use the MSRF facilities can ensure safe collection of organisms at sea, hold them and conduct experiments in wet labs and immediately process samples in the analytical labs. MSRF can perform chemical, physical and molecular analysis of samples. The facilities support a diverse array of research including, marine degradation of plastics, marine life disease, soil chemistry and more.
