The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) is an independent non-profit science and education center located in Ferry Reach, St. George, Bermuda. In Christian hagiography Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Anglican Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Ba (officially The Bermuda Islands or The Somers Isles) is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Station, founded in 1903, hosts a full-time faculty of oceanographers, biologists, and environmental scientists; graduate and undergraduate students, K-13 tour groups; and ElderHostel. Year 1903 ( MCMIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display calendar of the Gregorian calendar or a Common year starting Oceanography (from the greek words Ωκεανός meaning Ocean and γράφω meaning to write also called oceanology or A biologist is a Scientist devoted to and producing results in Biology through the study of Organisms Typically biologists study organisms and their relationship Environmental science is the study of interactions among physical chemical and biological components of the environment. The Station enjoys a thriving relationship with Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences through the Beaufort-to-Bermuda program and describes itself as "an independent nonprofit institution that conducts world-class marine research and education"
Prior to 5th September 2006 the BIOS was known as the Bermuda Biological Station for Research (BBSR). Duke University is a private Research University located in Durham, North Carolina, United States. The Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences is one of seven graduate and professional schools at Duke University.

Research Programs
Center for Integrated Ocean Observations (CINTOO)
The Center for Integrated Ocean Observations is part of an international collaboration of oceanographers and climate scientists. Taking advantage of Bermuda's unique position, their goal is to better understand the biological, chemical and physical processes that take place in the ocean and the ocean's role in regulating the Earth's climate.
International Center for Ocean and Human Health (ICOHH)
With humanity's place in the ecosystem in mind, the International Center for Ocean and Human Health is attempting to understand the complicated relationship between "the health of the ocean and health from the ocean" on a global scale. Established in 1998, the ICOHH is considered the first project of its kind. Working with experts on pollution, coral reefs, ecotoxicology, fisheries, mariculture, and more, the Institute formed a cross-disciplinary exploration our delicate relationship with the oceans.
Risk Prediction Initiative (RPI)
Matching the Institute's unique research ability with Bermuda's thriving insurance market, the Risk Prediction Initiative is intended to develop more accurate models of the effects of climate change, advancing scientific knowledge whilst informing the (re)insurance industry.
