Ocean
Caraibes has over 24 years experience creating habitat for both
marine and terrestrial projects around the world.

Ocean Caraibes
areas of
expertise in habitat creation and restoration include
hydrology, geomorphology, aquatic habitat populations, and
social-economical analysis.
Our
approach to habitat creation and restoration includes
the integration of geologic, hydrologic, chemical,
geographic, and biological data.
Additionally, we:
-
Synthesize the existing science of riverine ecosystem
processes to produce broadly applicable conceptual
models
-
Enhance other select stream-flow projects with like
interdisciplinary studies
-
Design long-term, watershed-scale research program that
will substantively reinvent the riverine ecosystem.
The collected information is then utilized to
create new tools and models that address issues faced by
river managers. Ocean Caraibes translate the best riverine
science into useful approaches and usable information.
The
issues that encompass ground-water and surface-water
hydrology, the biology of fish, birds, shellfish, and
aquatic
and terrestrial vegetation, and the mechanisms for
resolving related conflicts are issues
recognized world-wide.
Substantive progress depends on a basic understanding of
associated landscape change, the soils and other geologic
materials on which aquatic and terrestrial communities
depend and the social contexts of water management.
The ability to manage riverine ecosystems
wisely occurs from:
-
collecting & interpreting reliable data on current and
past riverine conditions
-
identification of the fundamental and integrated
functions of the riverine
-
comprehension of the institutional and economic
processes of the riverine
-
forecasting the impact of environmental change and human
actions on the riverine and its aquatic communities
-
effectively communicating all information & study
results to resource-managers, policy-makers and the
public.
