Research Platform “BISHOP”

BISHOP is a platform established as the core research infrastructure of the MaOI Institute, for aggregating and utilizing data in the marine field. Led by MaOI institute, marine environmental data and biological resource information collected in cooperation with prefectural public research institutions and universities are accumulated. These research foundations are utilized for research, demonstration, and technology development purposes, serving as the basis for joint research and demonstration projects at the institute.
