Atlantic Healthy Ocean Initiative
About
Their goal is to protect the long-term health of our oceans and promote sustainable coastal communities.
Their activities focus on marine protection and habitat conservation, as well as research on aquatic species at risk and management of invasive species. They utilize ROV technology for benthic habitat mapping and implement plastic waste reduction initiatives, such as promoting the use of biodegradable and reusable containers. Additionally, they run community education and sustainable development programs to foster long-term environmental stewardship.
