The original nucleus of the Genoa site was established on 25 April 1940 as a laboratory dedicated to the study of marine corrosion of metals, which in 1968 became the Institute for Marine Corrosion of Metals (CNR-ICMM). In March 1990 it moved into the premises of the original core of the Genoa Research Area, where it is still located today. Over the following decade, the site's activities expanded to include marine biology and ecology topics focused on the interaction of technologies and materials with the marine environment (protection and impacts). Subsequently, in 2001, it became a Secondary Office of the new Institute of Marine Sciences (CNR-ISMAR) until 2018, when it became a Secondary Office and then the Headquarters of the Institute for the Study of Anthropogenic Impacts and Sustainability in the Marine Environment (CNR-IAS), until July 2026, when it joined CNR-IRBIM.

The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
