About Us
Subsea Sustainability
For more than three decades we’ve proven that in order to achieve lasting sustainability, you have to start from the bottom up. For us, that means achieving a healthy and biodiverse ecosystem beginning on the sea floor. This unique approach is the core of our Subsea Sustainability Solutions. Who are we? Put simply, we are a collective made up of the brightest minds in marine science, ecological remediation, urban planning, restoration, conservation, economic development, and education - all under one roof. We’ve come together in one place for a single reason: to restore marine and coastal ecosystems for a healthier planet of thriving, sustainable communities.
Our Core Values
Integrity, visionary innovation, professional ethics, biodiversity, sustainability, and education. Our goal is to leave all our clients with biologically healthy, prosperous, revitalized, and sustainable communities, and the tools to keep them that way.
Second Generation Sustainability
We know sustainability. Our CEO’s father began designing pollution control equipment for New York City back in 1971, long before anyone ever heard of carbon footprints, sustainability, or any of it. You could say we have been creating sustainable, biodiverse, and healthy solutions for more than half a century. In the current generation, we’ve worked on some of the largest terrestrial Superfund cleanup sites ever envisioned; restored rivers and streams; and uncovered sub aquatic locations unseen for millennia. What we’ve found, by and large, is that nature does nature better than humans have previously tried to improve on nature. Most of our work is undoing the effects of man. Thus, when we’re successful it’s almost like we were never there.
