Our Expertise

HRI Initiatives

The Harte Research Institute has a number of initiatives to further focus on specific issues, opportunities, or collaborations in the Gulf. They are made possible by generous supporters and funders and allow HRI to further connect with our coastal communities.


Research Programs

The Harte Research Institute is set apart from other marine research institutions by its use of the HRI Model, a unique interdisciplinary way of working that integrates our science with economic, policy and sociological expertise. Each of our nine research programs are dedicated to working together to develop science-driven solutions™ that aim to conserve coastal and marine resources, while also developing resilient communities and economies in the United States, Mexico, and Cuba.
