St. Andrews Biological Station

St. Andrews Biological Station (acronym: SABS; originally: Atlantic Biological Station) is a Fisheries and Oceans Canada research centre located on Brandy Cove Road in St. Andrews, New Brunswick.[1] [2]

Along with the Huntsman Marine Science Centre, the Atlantic Salmon Federation, and the Charlotte County campus of the New Brunswick Community College, SABS is the core of a network of fisheries research and educational institutions in the area.[3] SABS is Canada's first marine biological research station, having been established by the Department of Marine and Fisheries in 1899 as a temporary floating laboratory.[4][5] The permanent station was officially established in 1908.

The current director is Dr. Thomas W. Sephton.[1] Dr. Robert Stephenson is the leader of its Gulf of Maine Section,[6] while Dr. Peter Lawton, Director of the Centre for Marine Biodiversity, is a Research Scientist at SABS.[7]
