Caribbean Research and Management of Biodiversity Foundation (previously The Caribbean Marine Biological Institute; commonly referred to as CARMABI Foundation[1] or just CARMABI) is a research organization in Curaçao, former Netherlands Antilles. It is situated in Piscadera Bay, Шаблон:Convert from the Caribbean Sea. Its education and research programs include the ecological aspects of fisheries and coral reef sciences.[2]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
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.Шаблон:Sfn 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.Шаблон:Sfn
In association with National Parks Foundation of the Netherlands Antilles (STINAPA), CARMABI has conducted terrestrial and marine projects, CARMABI being associated with research while STINAPA is associated with management.Шаблон:Sfn 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.[3] 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.[4] 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".[2] Jacques S. Zaneveld of Old Dominion University was a former director.Шаблон:Sfn
In 2013, the Bonaire Deep Reef Expedition discovered 13 new species of sponges off the coast of Bonaire and Klein Curaçao.Шаблон:Sfn Of the new species discovered, Caminus carmabi has been named after CARMABI,Шаблон:Sfn and Plakinastrella stinapa after STINAPA.Шаблон:Sfn
