Caribbean Research and Management of Biodiversity Foundation
Caribbean Research and Management of Biodiversity Foundation (previously The Caribbean Marine Biological Institute; commonly referred to as CARMABI Foundation〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.researchstationcarmabi.org/contact )〕 or just CARMABI) is a research organization in Curaçao, former Netherlands Antilles. It is situated in Piscadera Bay, from the Caribbean Sea. Its education and research programs include the ecological aspects of fisheries and coral reef sciences.
==History==
In 1955, the head of Curaçao's petroleum industry proposed funding for a scientific institution at Piscadera Bay as it was noted to be a perfect location for research; subsequently, plans were drawn to establish the institution. Originally named the Caribbean Marine Biological Institute (CARMABI), the station was founded in 1955 at the bay's open end. Its work centered on research in the field of ecology—fisheries. As the bay front has extensive coral reefs, research in the field of coral reef science was initiated in 1969. Consequent to increased participation in the activities of the institute, the CARMABI facility was enlarged, adding a new building with laboratory facilities on the shore line.
Residential dormitories were also constructed to house 30 persons. By 1970, its facility contained wet and dry laboratories, an aquarium, as well as four work rooms.
In association with National Parks Foundation of the Netherlands Antilles (STINPA), CARMABI has conducted terrestrial and marine projects, CARMABI being associated with research while STINPA is associated with management. In 1999, CARMABI and STINAPA became a single entity, renamed as the Caribbean Research and Management of Biodiversity Foundation, although continuing to be referred to as CARMABI.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.researchstationcarmabi.org/the-station/history )〕 CARMABI, the SECORE (SExual COral REproduction) Foundation and the Curaçao Sea-Aquarium jointly carried out a study in Curaçao, which involved developing the techniques needed to regenerate depauperate ''Acropora palmate'' in the entire area of the Caribbean. CARMABI Foundation, also associated with the management of the Christoffel Park and the Shete Boka Park, is "the largest field station in the Southern Caribbean".〔 Jacques S. Zaneveld of Old Dominion University was a former director.
