Kerckhoff Marine Laboratory

The William G. Kerckhoff Marine Laboratory is owned and operated by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).

It is located 101 Dahlia Street, in the Corona del Mar district of Newport Beach, in Orange County, California.

The marine laboratory was established by biologist Thomas Hunt Morgan in 1928 to replicate the facilities at the Stazione Zoologica in Naples, Italy.

During the 1990s and 2000s investigators included members of the Eric Davidson lab working on various marine biology related projects.
