  The Centre of Advanced Study in Marine Biology, Annamalai University. | ||||||||||||||
The Centre of Advanced Study in Marine Biology (CASMB) is a research and academic institution under Annamalai University, located in Parangipettai, Tamil Nadu, India. Established in 1957, it is among the earliest institutions in India dedicated to marine biology. The centre offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs in marine sciences and conducts research on marine and coastal ecosystems.
Histroy
[edit]CASMB was founded in 1957 by Professor R.V. Seshaiya as a field laboratory under the Department of Zoology, Annamalai University. Located in Parangipettai (formerly known as Porto Novo), the centre was established to promote marine biological research and education. In October 1963, the University Grants Commission (UGC) formally recognized the centre, marking its development into a specialized institution for marine studies.[1] During the 1960s, it became one of India's first research stations dedicated to the study of marine life.[2]
Campus and Facilities
[edit]The CASMB campus spans 14.3 acres and is situated near the coastal region of the Bay of Bengal, providing direct access to marine habitats. The campus includes laboratories, classrooms, research facilities, and a marine biology museum.
The centre maintains a dedicated library with a collection of approximately 7,000 national and international books related to marine sciences.[3] It also hosts the Environment Information System (ENVIS) Centre, which serves as a hub for environmental data and awareness.[4][5][6]
Academic Programs
[edit]The centre offers a total of 19 academic programs related to marine sciences, including undergraduate, postgraduate, and Ph.D. courses. These programs cover areas such as marine biology, oceanography, coastal ecology, and aquaculture.[7][8]
Museum
[edit]The Marine Biology Museum at CASMB is a resource for both students and the general public, showcasing a diverse collection of marine specimens. Exhibits include preserved specimens such as seahorses, sea snakes, sea cucumbers, and various regional fish species like Koduva, Paarai, and Tiger fish. The museum reflects over six decades of collection and preservation efforts by faculty and researchers.[3]
Research
[edit]It has also researched growing mangroves and protecting coastal vegetation, sea dunes and dunes vegetation.[9] More than 200 research project reports have been completed in this center. The National and International organizations have also contributed funds for 45 research projects and it is still helping today.[10][11][12] [13][14]
The centre collaborates with national and international organizations for research and capacity-building initiatives. These collaborations support ongoing scientific investigations and infrastructure development.
