Ted Stevens Marine Research Institute

Dr. Martha Martinez

Ted Stevens Marine Research Institute is Alaska’s largest fisheries research facility. The lobby is open daily to the public and it is definitely worth a visit. Impressive salt water aquariums in the lobby provide uninterrupted viewing of Alaskan marine life for everyone's enjoyment. Science-based educational guided tours of the facilities (including a touch tank for close encounters with Alaskan marine life!) and lectures that use the Science on a Sphere visualizations (available only in a handful of places around the world) are offered weekdays at 13:00 hrs., June through September. This facility, which is entirely heated by 100% renewable green energy, also offers fantastic views of Lena Point and whale watching opportunities from indoor and outdoor observation decks with complimentary use of scopes and binoculars; interesting landscaping, Ray Troll fish sculptures, and outdoor seating areas.
