Experience
Benthic Biology

Since 1969, MBC has performed numerous benthic biological studies on hard- and soft-bottoms from nearshore waters to deep ocean basins and canyons. Such studies have been commissioned and funded by federal, state and local government agencies, public utilities, and private industry. Benthic studies have been conducted near sewage outfalls, thermal effluents, nuclear and conventional power plants, oil platforms, artificial reefs, and dredging and construction activities from San Diego to Alaska. The staff has conducted nearshore studies in harbors, bays, and estuaries.
