Borneo Marine Research Institute is a Center of Excellence in Universiti Malaysia Sabah. It is an active seart of education and research on conservation and sustainable development of marine resources, and aquaculture of high-value species. We have excellent infrastructure for marine studies, two hatcheries for fish and shrimp, and an aquaculture incubator is in the pipeline to promote university-industry interface.
Our institute houses a major marine biodiversity showcase in the form of museum and aquarium, and this facility is open to general public as well as tourists.
