BBSR is conducting numerous studies on the health of Bermuda's coral reefs. We have a long history of research starting in the early years of this century when the BioStation was created. On the next pages are descriptions of various projects and some of the results. Look over the short descriptions on this page to see which most interest to you and then follow the link for more details. Bermuda has recently installed an incinerator to burn our trash. BBSR has two projects to study the effects of the incinerator on our nearshore environment. Both are conducted by the Benthic Ecology Research Programme (BERP) at BBSR which is funded by the Bermuda Government. The second project concerns materials that won't burn in the incinerator, waste ash which is mixed with concrete before being dumped into the coastal waters as landfill.
