Hava Wienograd Len Hornung (Hebrew: חוה הורנונג; December 25, 1929 – December 29, 2012) was Israel's first female oceanographer and instrumental in the establishment of the first oceanographic research station in Israel, the Sea Fisheries Research Station, or "Tahanah le-heker ha-dayig hayami". She was one of the catalysts for oceanographic research in Israel, which eventually culminated in larger Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research Center (IOLR) in 1967,[1] which continues to do cutting-edge research to this day.
