Marine and Freshwater Research Institute (MFRI), Iceland

The Marine and Freshwater Research Institute (MFRI) in Iceland, also known as Hafrannsóknastofnun, is the leading research institution in the country for marine and freshwater studies. It conducts extensive research on marine ecosystems, fish stocks, and environmental conditions, providing scientific advice to the government on sustainable resource management.
