Observatoire océanologique de Banyuls-sur-Mer

The Observatoire océanologique de Banyuls-sur-Mer, also known as the Laboratoire Arago, is a marine station located in Banyuls-sur-Mer (Pyrénées-Orientales) on the Mediterranean coast of France. The marine station is made up of several joint research laboratories operated by UPMC-Paris 6 (Université Pierre et Marie Curie) and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and one administrative unit.[1] The buildings and land are part of the UPMC-Paris 6 campus.

The marine station also houses a small public aquarium and a public garden.

History

Biologist Emil Racoviță diving, photographed by Louis Boutan in 1899 in Banyuls-sur-Mer.

The marine station was founded in 1881 by the biologist Henri de Lacaze-Duthiers.[2]

After founding the Roscoff Marine Station on the English Channel in 1872, the Sorbonne zoologist, Professor Henri de Lacaze-Duthiers, wished to establish a second marine station on the Mediterranean. The site in Banyuls-sur-Mer was selected over another site in Port-Vendres because of a more favorable financial offer by the village.[3] The public aquarium was in operation by 1885.[4]

Construction of the main building began in 1881.[5] The station officially opened in 1882 under the name of "Laboratoire Arago" named to honor François Arago, who was born in the same region.[4]

Prince Roland Bonaparte offered a steamboat for the use of the laboratory in 1890. Named Roland, the ship was destroyed while in her basin in Banyuls during a storm in November 1908.[6]

French marine biologist Louis Boutan perfected, while studying under de Lacaze-Duthiers, several techniques for underwater photography. He also developed an underwater flash and a remote control for deep waters using an electromagnet.[7][8]

Mission

The Laboratoire Arago and its two sister stations in Roscoff and Villefranche-sur-Mer, share two common missions: promoting education and research in marine sciences. All three sites maintain onsite dormitory and restaurant facilities available to visiting scientists and students in support of these missions.
