Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The first oceanographic institution, a lab and a museum, was founded by Prince Albert I of Monaco in
1906. The famous Jacques Cousteau was a student at this facility. Later, in 1921, Monaco was the site
of the International Hydrographic Bureau, an oceanographic agency. Information can be found in the
