Oceanus Library
Welcome to the Oceanus Library. Here you will find an extensive collection of scientific literature relating to Ireland's marine and freshwater resources. An important element of this collection includes our Archive, with material dating from c. 1891. The Archive collection includes scientific reports, books and publications prepared by Irish and international marine researchers. As part of the Marine Institute’s mission to promote and assist marine research, a wide range of our publications are available electronically.
Our recent publications include a series of reports presenting information on, and outcomes from, projects funded under the Marine Research Sub-programme of the National Development Plan (2007-2013), as part of the Sea Change Strategy. To view these, click here.
The Library is open to the public by appointment and is located at the Marine Institute headquarters at Rinville, Oranmore, Co. Galway. You can contact the library by email or by phone on +353 91 387526.
