Organized around the unique “HRI Model,” the institute encourages interdisciplinary collaboration between its nine specialty research areas to employ a holistic approach in addressing large-scale ecosystem problems and recognizes that people and the environment are inexorably linked in their solution, a vision that makes HRI unique in the community of marine science institutes.
