As a marine laboratory, the Dauphin Island Sea Lab’s (DISL) mission encompasses the pursuit of excellence in marine science education, marine research, coastal zone management policy and public engagement through the Estuarium, DISL’s public aquarium. Founded in 1971 by the State Legislature, the DISL is administrative home for Alabama’s Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium. Located on the eastern tip of Dauphin Island, a barrier island in the northern Gulf of Mexico, the DISL is surrounded by Mobile Bay, Mississippi Sound and the waters of the Gulf, making it a perfect location to conduct a wide range of marine science activity.
The research programs of the DISL range from biogeochemistry and oceanography to ecosystem ecology.
DISL offers state and local government, industry and agency decision makers a range of coastal zone management services.
