This is the story of the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, or the BMSC, which has grown as a result of a remarkable collaboration among 5 universities working together since 1969 to provide a field station on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
This year we are the celebrating 50th anniversary of our first field courses, field trips and research visitors.
Enjoy the historical photographs taken before construction of the station began, the first years as the Bamfield Marine Station, and how we have grown, and some of our achievements.
It is a journey into the future, as we plan for success as a sustainable, world-class research and education facility on the west coast of Canada.
