Dedicated to help visualize, protect, and restore deepwater marine ecosystems. MARE protects and restores the ocean’s invaluable, yet threatened resources by enabling science-ba Today, more than 80% of the ocean remains unexplored. Recognizing the lack of visual data available on deep-sea habitats, Marine Applied Research and Exploration (MARE) was founded in 2003 as a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) to ensure future generations have access to vital ocean resources. Our mission at MARE is to explore and document our oceans in support of their conservation and management. We accomplish our mission by building and deploying our fleet of remotely operated systems in deep-sea environments for various underwater applications, informing marine resource management and supporting environmentally conscious scientific research and discovery.
