- Canada's first marine biological research station began operations in St.
Andrews in 1899. After operating for two years at St. Andrews, it was moved
and operated at various places in the Maritime provinces and Quebec until 1907.
The St. Andrews Biological Station (originally called the Atlantic Biological
Station) began operations in 1908 on a 1.4 hectare site at Brandy Cove, near
the mouth of the St. Croix River. The Biological Station facilities have
expanded over the years and now cover 9.3 hectares at Brandy Cove.
Biological Station scientists have gained national and international
recognition for their pioneering research and industry participation on:
- Aquaculture Research
- Environmental Research
- Harvest Fisheries Research
- Oceanographic Research
- Invertebrate Fisheries Research
