April 2019 Tide Bite
Dear FHL Friends and Family,
After a cold and snowy February, spring came to San Juan Island in March with some gorgeous sunny days and balmy weather. We look forward to the UW Marine Biology majors and other students arriving on April 1, no joke!
FHL OPEN HOUSE – MAY 11, 2019
11 am – 4 pm
Please join us on San Juan Island to explore UW’s internationally-acclaimed marine labs.
Once a year we open our doors and labs to encourage others to come see what we’re doing!

Dear FHL Friends and Family,
February 2019 brought lots of snow to San Juan Island and we do not have the equipment to deal with it well here, so we had to wait until warmer weather and rain came to melt it.
February 2019 Tide Bite
Dear FHL Friends and Family,
This month we have a Tide Bite that describes truly interdisciplinary research between two of our wonderful graduate students working at Friday Harbor Laboratories. Read what can happen when you have two students who are studying very different topics that decide to collaborate on a project together.

Happy Holidays to all of our FHL Family and Friends!
2018 has been a year of highs and lows at Friday Harbor Laboratories. We’ve seen some wonderful emerging research, such as the marine studies made possible with the OceanGate submersible and the SeaDoc Society, and we look forward to the possibilities of future years.
December 2018 Tide Bite
Dear FHL Friends and Family,
Happy Holidays! It seems that just a few moments ago it was September, and now it is December 1st and the holiday season. We will soon bid farewell to the students who have been living and studying here at FHL during Autumn Quarter, and the quiet of the winter season will descend.
November 2018 Tide Bite
Dear FHL Friends and Family,
It is with great sorrow that we share the death of the brilliant scientist Osamu Shimomura, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 for the discovery and isolation of green fluorescent protein (GFP).
October 2018 Tide Bites
Dear FHL Friends and Family,
Autumn has quietly fallen on FHL, bringing the new 2018-19 academic year and UW Marine Biology students to FHL. This fall begins the UW Marine Biology major in the College of the Environment, and therefore more interactions between FHL, the School of Aquatic Fisheries and the School of Oceanography at UW.
Cyclops submersible visit!
We are hosting a submersible! OceanGate Inc.‘s Cyclops 1 is coming to conduct research here in the Salish Sea for a week. This project is a partnership between UW FHL in the College of the Environment, The SeaDoc Society on Orcas Island, and the OceanGate Foundation in Everett.
