Marine science is vital to the health and vitality of the regional seas around Singapore, which supports the nation’s survival and success. Against this backdrop, the St John’s Island National Marine Laboratory (SJINML) is ramping up to play a key role in establishing Singapore as a regional nexus for marine science research and education.

Hosted and operated by the National University of Singapore (NUS) and funded by National Research Foundation, Singapore (NRF Singapore) as a vital National Research Infrastructure, SJINML will also nurture manpower capabilities for the marine and off-shore industries. Equipped with a strong understanding of the marine environment and biodiversity, researchers trained by the laboratory will provide industry with a better understanding of the business impact on the marine environment and promote greener innovations and solutions.

Under the refreshed vision, the laboratory will also spearhead regional partnerships to conserve and rehabilitate regional oceans and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
