The People Behind the Mission.

A small team building the coastal infrastructure Puerto Rico has needed for a decade.

OUR TEAM

The people behind Puerto Rico's coastal recovery.

Reclaim Nature, Inc. is a two-person team with a single mandate: establish Puerto Rico's first fully permitted, science-backed nearshore sargassum interception system. Small by design. Built for precision and impact.

We are building the operations team.

Ahead of our March 2027 deployment, Reclaim Nature will be hiring field operations personnel at three Fajardo coastal access points. Positions will include boom maintenance and inspection, on-water positioning and skimmer operation, wildlife and protected-species observation, shore-side staging and dewatering, and logistics coordination with qualified processing partner offtake. Priority will be given to residents of Fajardo and Puerto Rico's eastern coast, with bilingual Spanish and English candidates strongly encouraged to apply. We are also actively building a small bench of advisors in marine biology, regulatory compliance, and circular-economy operations. If you live on the island, work on the water, or have led permitted coastal projects elsewhere in the Caribbean, we want to hear from you. Roles will open in stages beginning Q3 2026, with formal applications announced through this page and our partner municipalities.
