The Institute Headquarter of Messina was founded in 1916 as the Central Institute of Marine Biology following the establishment of the Royal Thalassographic Committee, which had "executive functions for the physical, chemical and biological study of the Italian seas, mainly in relation to the fishing navigation industry and for the exploration of the upper atmosphere in regard to air navigation." It later became the Experimental Thalassographic Institute and is now the Headquarter of IRBIM CNR.
