The Morris Kahn Marine Research Station was established in order to provide baseline data and understanding of the marine ecological system in the Mediterranean Sea of Israeli coastal waters.
Sdot-Yam Buoy
Sdot Yam Nexus Shallow Monitoring Station, Located in Israel, near Kibbutz Sdot Yam at a water depth of ~13 meters, Placed and maintained by the Morris Kahn Marine Research Station, University of Haifa, and gives easy and free access to an online interface for viewing and downloading data collected by the float sensors, instantly, and constantly.

Underwater Photography As we are limited to short SCUBA diving times per site, it is important for us to acquire as much quality data as possible from each dive. Documenting and photographing monitoring dives assists us to conduct long term ecological research that is both reliable and accurate. Environmental conservation - Photography is considered an environmentally friendly method that reduces damage to sea creatures compared to that of older methods, like…

Rosette The General Oceanics Coastal CTD/Mini-Rosette system provides you with the oceanographic tool that you need in a compact, easy-to-handle system. Additional external sensors such as a Fluorometer, Transmissometer, OBS, Altimeter, etc. may be installed. Data from additional sensors is either logged internally or telemetered to the surface along with the CTD data.
SEAL-AA3 Autoanalyzer The SEAL AutoAnalyzer3 High Resolution (AA3HR) is the new generation of the original Technicon™ AutoAnalyzer II — focusing on maintaining its reputation of high quality and reliability. A basic SFA system consists of an autosampler, a peristaltic pump, a chemistry manifold, a detector and data acquisition software. Sample and reagents are pumped continuously through the chemistry manifold. Air bubbles are introduced at regular intervals forming unique reaction segments…
SBE 16plus CTD CTD stands for conductivity, temperature, and depth, and refers to a package of electronic instruments that measure these properties. The use of Sea-Bird 16plus V2 RS232 C.T.D. allow us to measure the phisycal parameters of the water with a great accuracy. A CTD device’s primary function is to detect how the conductivity and temperature of the water column changes relative to depth. Conductivity is a measure of how…
Megalodon CCR All monitoring dives are conducted using Megalodon Closed circuit rebreathers (CCR) to don’t disturb the fish, increased bottom time and safety. We return to the monitoring sites using a GPS coordinates and in water recognition of the site. There is no return to the exact transect although the transects are done within the same site.Fish Census- four transects of 25 m’ each are conducted at every site. Every…

The Morris Kahn Marine Research Station was established in order to provide baseline data and understanding of the marine ecological system in the Mediterranean Sea of Israeli coastal waters. The Charney School of Marine Sciences at the University of Haifa established a Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) station focusing on the eastern Mediterranean basin located in Kibbutz Sdot Yam, 44 km south of Haifa, near Caesarea. The station's name is: Morris Kahn Marine…
