Finnish Institute of Marine Research

The Finnish Institute of Marine Research (FIMR) (Finnish: Merentutkimuslaitos and Swedish: Havsforskningsinstitutet) was a research institute founded in 1918 that was subordinate to the Ministry of Transport and Communications. The institute's main objective was to produce marine-science information to facilitate decision-making, for Finns, and for use in seafaring.

Since September 2005, the Finnish Institute of Marine Research had its headquarters in Dynamicum, a building it shares with the Finnish Meteorological Institute in Kumpula, Helsinki.

The institute was closed in the beginning of 2009, and its functions were divided between the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) and the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI).

gollark: This isn't a deliberate technical decision of some kind. I just haven't done it.
gollark: You can't.
gollark: Hmm. So it looks like if I *do* accept the cryoapiocity and do database lookups when rendering (with some sort of batching mechanism, of course) then I can get some other nice things, like working aliases and non-awful case-insensitivity handling.
gollark: Although extra network round trips are bee.
gollark: That *might* not be a *terrible* way to do it.
