Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences is a private, non-profit research institution based in East Boothbay, Maine, founded in 1974 and named for Henry Bryant Bigelow. The organization studies how ocean microbes affect life on Earth, conducting research at a modern facility and at sea—from the Gulf of Maine to polar regions and deep-ocean environments. It provides services such as algal culture provision and storage, advanced analytical testing, and capabilities to replicate in situ ocean experiments, plus access to a dedicated single-cell genomics center and a flow cytometry facility. 

The lab serves researchers and industry partners seeking to understand climate-related ocean change, biogeochemical processes, and ecosystem effects, and it contributes to Maine's regional economy while training the next generation of scientists and technicians. In March 2026, it formed a collaboration with Hatch Accelerator Holding Ltd to host a Portland, Maine summit on biotech solutions for the seafood industry.
