national research institution (non-profit governmental
corporation) established in 1967 to generate knowledge for the
sustainable use and protection of Israel's marine, coastal and
freshwater resources.
The IOLR is affiliated with the Earth Sciences Research
Administration of the Ministry of National Infrastructures.
The IOLR includes three research centers:
* The National Institute of Oceanography in Haifa.
* The Yigal Allon Kinneret Limnological Laboratory near Tiberias.
* The National Center for Mariculture in Eilat.
The IOLR conducts scientific research in the fields of
oceanography, limnology, mariculture and marine biotechnology,
addressing issues of national, regional and global relevance and
importance. In fulfillment of its mandate as a national
institution, much of IOLR's scientific effort is focused on
research, monitoring and assessment of the environmental status
of Israel's neighboring sea areas (eastern Mediterranean and the
Gulf of Aqaba/Red Sea) and inland water bodies (Lake Kinneret -
the Biblical Sea of Galilee - and the Dead Sea) and predicting
their response to human and natural perturbations. IOLR's R&D
effort in mariculture and marine biotechnology is focused on
innovative technologies for the exploitation of marine organisms
for food and biochemicals. This diverse program of research,
environmental monitoring and technology development bridges many
different scientific disciplines including physics, chemistry,
geology, biology and ecology, and involves collaboration with
academic and research institutions within Israel and world-wide.
IOLR participates in regional and international research
programs, provides assistance to developing countries within its
fields of competence and represents Israel at the
Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC) and
the Mediterranean Science Commission (CIESM).
