The Shackleton Initiative Marine Research Centre (SIMRC) is a Trinidad and Tobago non profit corporation focused on research, development, and educational outreach. Our objective is to be a trend setter in global marine science research and to share our concept of “science tourism” as a sustainable solution to different marine economies. Through using our proprietary techniques we aspire to setup other research stations through this turnkey process that will stimulate the local economy and work towards coral reef restoration. The SIMRC is the first location to utilize this technique and our findings will be published at various increments to document our advancements.
