The Guardian Solution

An effective, targetted solution for culling the invasive lionfish population.
It just works.


The unsolved disaster resulting from the infestation of lionfish in the western Atlantic begs for new ideas and a new approach. To be effective, the solution needs to be widely deployable and be economically self-sustaining. It needs to be able to reach large lionfish populations at depths down to 1,000 feet, as well as guard reefs from infestation. The operators must be non-professionals who can deploy and maintain the solution without extensive training. All these requirements can be met with properly designed, manufactured, and deployed underwater robots.

Guardian Iterations

The RSE Team has created 3 variations of the Guardian to-date.

Our roboticists and engineers continue to iterate and improve the Guardian's capabilities, adding further maneuverability and increasing the depths that it can reach.
