What we do
Marine Response
We provide support dives for emergency restoration efforts in response to anthropogenic and natural disasters that cause physical impacts on the marine environment like coral reefs and seagrasses.
​
Marine Restoration
We apply innovative methods to both restore and enhance environmentally sensitive marine habitats, including coral reefs, seagrasses, and other benthic habitats.
​
Monitoring/Mitigation
We utilize a variety of survey and sampling methods to determine the baseline occurrence of organisms and habitats and to evaluate the success of restoration efforts.
