We specialize in Exploring, Documenting and Monitoring Deep Subtidal Ecosystems

California’s diverse marine territory stretches 13,688 square kilometers, with over 70% of the state's marine seafloor habitats exceeding depths of 30 m.  More than 550 marine fish species and thousands of marine invertebrate species are found in California’s territorial waters. Many of these species are only found within deep subtidal ecosystems, extending well beyond the reach of conventional SCUBA surveys.  MARE focuses on monitoring these deep-sea ecosystems.
