Conserving our marine resources through education, restoration,
and research.
The Bahr Marine Ecology Lab addresses problems facing marine ecosystems at local (e.g., eutrophication, sedimentation) and global (e.g., coral bleaching, ocean warming, acidification) scales. We seek to understand how organisms respond to natural and anthropogenic environmental change and how this may impact our marine resources and shape our coastal ecosystems (from wetlands to coral reefs). Our goal is to produce science driven solutions to advance long term sustainable use and conservation of our unique marine ecosystems.
Our research team is dedicated to developing the knowledge and tools to restore, preserve, and manage our marine ecosystems.

Dr. Keisha Bahr spearheads an innovative hands-on training program designed to empower students undergoing scientific diver training. Drawing upon the methodologies and standards of the NOAA Coral Reef Monitoring Program, this initiative equips participants with essential skill sets crucial for a career in marine science and resource management.
