The Mid-Pacific Research Laboratory was a marine research facility located in a former US Coast Guard LORAN station on the northern tip of Enewetak Island, part of the Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands.[1] It was opened in 1952, when it was called the Eniwetok Marine Biological Laboratory,[2] on the island of Medren[3] and in the early part of its operation it was typically staffed and active when nuclear testing by the United States was being carried out.[1] In the years following the ending of nuclear testing in 1958 the facility was moved to Enewetak Island[3] and it was still staffed for only part of the year until in 1974 it gained full-time research staff. In 1979 its name was changed to the Mid-Pacific Research Laboratory.[1] Research carried out at the lab included studies on energy relationships, symbiosis, colonization of the land by marine organisms, metabolic adaptations of marine organisms and taxonomy.[2] The lab was funded by the University of Hawaii and the US Department of Energy[1] The laboratory was closed down after the Department of Energy ceased funding in 1983,[1] although research was still carried out for some years afterwards with alternative sponsorships.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web | url = http://www.underwaterkwaj.com/enew/mprl.htm | title = Mid-Pacific Research Lab | accessdate = 19 August 2018 | publisher = Kwaj Underwater}} 2. ^1 {{cite journal | url = http://micronesica.org/sites/default/files/eniwetok_marine_biological_laboratory_by_hiatt_r.w._-_micronesica_vol._2_part_2_jun._1966o.pdf | title = Eniwetok Marine Biological Laboratory | author = Robert W.
