FACILITIES FOR VISITORS

At present the renovated dormitories can house up to 25 people simultaneously, so that CARMABI can also house the larger number of participants generally associated with various courses. A wet lab with running seawater and 30 80x40x40cm aquaria is present. A large dry lab with basic laboratory equipment (e.g. microscopes, drying ovens, scales, basic chemical supplies etc.) is also present with 26.5m of available bench space.

CARMABI presently owns three boats that are available for research purposes. An enormous collection of historic reef-related literature is present in CARMABI’s on-site library. All dive operations are handled through a next-door dive-center (www.diveversity.an).

Collecting-, CITES- and shipping permits are obtainable through CARMABI and generally require approx. one day to complete.

Assistance can be provided to accommodate whatever other need exists to successfully complete research projects or samples can be collected and send overseas to parties unable to visit the institute themselves.
