Welcome!
Battelle's Marine Sciences Laboratory (MSL), located at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Sequim Marine Research Operations on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula, is the Department of Energy's only marine research laboratory.
Researchers from the Marine Sciences Laboratory help clients understand the effects of pollutants on marine and freshwater organisms; measure trace substances in the marine environment and develop tests to determine safe levels of the substances; assess and restore marine and coastal habitats; and use satellite information and other remote sensing techniques to map, measure, and model what happens in the ocean and estuarine environments.
