We provide support divers for emergency restoration efforts in response to anthropogenic and natural disasters which cause physical impacts to the marine environment.
We apply innovative methods to both restore and enhance environmentally sensitive marine habitats, including coral reefs, seagrasses, and other benthic habitats.
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.
The U.S. Coral Reef Task Force has recognized MRU’s Vice President Pedro Rodriguez for his “tireless efforts to mitigate the effects of small vessel groundings through effective and dedicated reef science” and for his “successful stabilization and restoration of thousands of dislodged corals in the Caribbean”.
