MARINE SCIENCE. BLUE CARBON. EVIDENCE.
THE BAHARI YETU MARINE LABORATORY
We bring marine research, field technology and scientific analysis together to understand and protect Zanzibar's coastal ecosystems.
From seagrass and mangrove monitoring to coral reef mapping, fish identification and water-quality analysis, our laboratory connects observations from the field with practical research and measurable environmental evidence.
We combine hands-on marine science with sonar surveys, underwater imaging, photogrammetry, GIS and AI-assisted analysis to investigate ecosystem change, evaluate restoration approaches and support better coastal management.
FIELD DATA IN. SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OUT.
01 — MARINE ECOLOGY & ANALYSIS
Seagrass, mangrove and coral samples, species identification, habitat assessment and environmental observations.
02 — BLUE CARBON RESEARCH
Investigating organic carbon in mangrove and seagrass sediments, carbon stocks, accumulation and potential measurement methodologies.
03 — DIGITAL MARINE SCIENCE
BRUV video processing, AI-assisted fish identification, underwater imagery, photogrammetry and 3D reef reconstruction.
04 — RESTORATION & DEVELOPMENT
Coral propagation trials, seagrass and mangrove restoration research, and development of practical monitoring methods..
Turning marine research into measurable carbon value, credible biodiversity evidence and investment-ready conservation projects.
“Bahari Yetu’s purpose-built marine research laboratory provides an excellent working environment for completing my dissertation. Having access to dedicated facilities, field equipment and the opportunity to work alongside an active marine research programme makes it an ideal setting for applied research.”
