Northeastern University's Marine Science Center is located in Nahant, Massachusetts on a rocky point 12 miles northeast of Boston. Facilities at the MSC include: a flow-through sea water system, research laboratories, offices, library, darkroom, wet lab with flowing seawater, dive locker, and an interactive micro-computing laboratory with T1 Internet capability. The lab has small boats for nearshore work and a 50' research vessel, the R/V Mysis. The 9.5' tidal amplitude and undisturbed shoreline provide a variety of intertidal and subtidal communities well suited for marine biological investigation.
