Note
The Harbor Branch Foundation, Inc. was
established in 1971 by J. Seward Johnson and Edwin
A. Link as a center for research in marine science
and ocean engineering. Since its inception, the
Foundation has developed an extensive array of
tools and systems which are used in research
programs conducted by Harbor Branch Foundation
scientists and engineers as well as by outside
investigators from the marine science community.
At the forefront of the research systems are the
pair of manned submersibles, JOHNSON-SEA-LINK I and
I I, and their surface support vessels, R/V SEWARD JOHNSON and R/V EDWIN LINK.
