The laboratory of Dr. Kim Holland (pictured right), also known as the HIMB Shark Lab, specializes in organismic and supraorganismic biology of marine organisms. The predominant research approach is to take advantage of the laboratory's unique physical setting by blending rigorous laboratory work with well-focused field experiments. The laboratory is part of the Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology, which is located on Coconut Island in Kane'ohe Bay, O'ahu.
