The Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom (MBA) is a learned society with a scientific laboratory that undertakes research in marine biology.[1] The organisation was founded in 1884 and has been based in Plymouth since the Citadel Hill Laboratory was opened on 30 June 1888.
The MBA is also home to the National Marine Biological Library, whose collections cover the marine biological sciences, and curates the Historical Collections.[2][3] Throughout its history, the MBA has had a royal patron.[4] In 2013, the MBA was granted a royal charter in recognition of the MBA's scientific preeminence in its field.[5]
