Recognizing the lack of visual data available on deep subtidal habitats, Marine Applied Research and Exploration (MARE) was founded in 2003 as a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization with the mission to explore and document deep-water ecosystems to assist in their conservation and management. MARE works collaboratively with state and federal agencies, academic institutions, and other non-governmental organizations. To date, MARE has documented over 2,700 kilometers of seafloor off California’s coast alone — much of which had never been viewed before.
