About us
MRC in Kerteminde is SDU’s coastal hub for marine research, teaching and fieldwork. With direct access to Kerteminde Fjord and facilities including laboratories, teaching rooms and aquaria with running seawater, the center provides an ideal setting for field-based research, university courses and specialised summer schools. At the laboratory, we keep seals, porpoises, otters and sometimes other marine critters for research, teaching and outreach.
