Sevastopol Biological Station

The Sevastopol Biological Station is a research facility in Sevastopol dedicated to studying marine organisms of the Black Sea through scientific observation and laboratory work. The center has workspace for scientists to collect, examine, and analyze information about aquatic life in this region.

The station is located along the coast of Sevastopol and welcomes visitors interested in marine science. Planning your visit ahead is wise, as research activities may affect when areas are open to the public.

The station maintains one of the longest continuous records of Black Sea marine life, spanning more than 150 years of scientific observations. This extensive archive provides a rare window into how the ecosystem has changed over time.
