The Finnish Institute of Marine Research (FIMR) ( _fi. Merentutkimuslaitos and _sv. Havsforskningsinstitutet) is a research institute founded in 1918 that is subordinate to the Ministry of Transport and Communications. The institute's main objective is 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 has had its headquarters in Dynamicum, a building it shares with the Finnish Meteorological Institute in Kumpula, Helsinki.
