(Jerusalem Post) Judy Siegel-Itzkovich - The Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research Institute (IOLR) and Bar-Ilan University are launching the first permanent marine station to study the deep sea off the coast of Israel. Located 50 km. from the Haifa shore, the Deep Sea Research Station will monitor environmental changes in the open sea that may be a result of offshore gas drilling. The station contains state-of-the-art measuring instruments to enable continuous study of the physical and ecological system in the eastern Mediterranean.
