Founder Joseph Farrell, Jr. began operations in 1980 with the RESOLVE, a single tug that provided salvage services to coastal freighters and small vessels in the Caribbean. In 1984, Joe formed Resolve Marine, as it is known today. In the wake of U.S. Coast Guard OPA 90 regulations, operations expanded: equipment depots were established across North America and a maritime firefighting training facility was launched to train personnel. After refining the emergency response model domestically, the company expanded globally. Joe now leads Mission Resolve, the philanthropic arm of Resolve Marine that focuses on removing plastics and other debris from the world’s oceans and other humanitarian, educational, and community efforts.

Mission Resolve Foundation, founded by Resolve Marine CEO Joseph E. Farrell, Jr, is a nonprofit organization who helps to minimize the challenges that coastal communities face. In times of disaster, we act as a facilitator for governments and NGOs providing our global experience and large-scale logistical deployment expertise. Our team immediately responds by clearing channels and providing personnel, vessels, and response equipment. The Foundation’s goal is to lead by example and assist all others in their respective disciplines.
Mission Resolve Foundation also helps address critical maritime environmental initiatives, which include marine plastics cleanup, coral restoration, artificial reef restoration and deployment, coastal erosion mitigation, and other pressing ocean-related needs. Mission Resolve also fosters its marine conservation support by providing extensive educational initiatives for schools, educators, and communities around the world.
