government agencies, and businesses on Nantucket Island that seeks to
conserve the native biodiversity of Nantucket, Tuckernuck, Muskeget, and
surrounding waters through collaborative research, monitoring, and
education.

NBI supports biodiversity research with grants to research projects that
expand understanding of the unique ecosystems found here. The collective
wealth of information and data from NBI, the research it funds, and its
partner organizations is a resource available to conservation
organizations, government agencies, and the general public involved in
decisions that affect Nantucket's environment.

Every other year, NBI hosts a research conference to share the work of
partner organizations and grantees with the general public and scientific
community.
