MARINE & ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING SERVICES

Protected Species Monitoring

Protected Species Observers (PSO)

Our trained and government-approved PSO services are designed to monitor and enforce mitigation measures during industrial activities such as geophysical surveys, construction, and dredging operations.

  • Ensure Compliance:

    • By adhering to environmental regulations, we help your projects avoid costly fines and delays.

  • Minimize Impact:

    • Our experienced observers implement strategies to minimize interactions with protected species, safeguarding marine biodiversity.

  • Provide Detailed Reporting:

    • We offer comprehensive monitoring reports that document compliance and provide valuable insights for future projects.

Marine Mammal Observers (MMO)

As part of our commitment to marine conservation, our MMO services focus on observing and protecting marine mammals during various marine operations.

  • Conduct Accurate Surveys:

    • Our team utilizes advanced techniques and equipment to identify and monitor marine mammals, ensuring accurate and reliable data collection.

  • Enhance Safety:

    • By identifying the presence of marine mammals, we help mitigate the risk of harmful interactions and ensure safer operations.

  • Support Research:

    • The data we collect contributes to broader scientific research, enhancing our understanding of marine mammal behavior and habitats.

Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Passive Acoustic Monitor (PAM) Operators

Our PAM services leverage cutting-edge acoustic technology to detect and analyze underwater sounds, providing crucial data for marine conservation efforts.

  • Detect Marine Life:

    • Acoustic monitoring allows us to detect the presence of marine life that might not be visible during surface observations.

  • Inform Decision-Making:

    • The acoustic data we gather helps inform operational decisions, ensuring minimal impact on marine environments.

  • Support Compliance:

    • PAM is often a regulatory requirement, and our services ensure your project meets all necessary guidelines and standards.

Avian Monitoring Services

Avian Monitoring

Our avian monitoring services provide essential documentation and protection for bird species within coastal and marine project areas, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and supporting conservation goals.

  • Deploy Expert Avian Monitors:

    • Our skilled avian monitors observe and document the locations, behaviors, and habitats of shorebird species as required by project permits. Working closely with project managers, they ensure that habitat protection measures are implemented effectively and aligned with permit conditions.

  • Minimize Environmental Impact:

    • We take a proactive approach to reduce disturbances to avian species during project operations. Our monitors employ strategies to protect shorebird populations, helping to maintain ecological balance and avoid costly delays or fines.

  • Deliver Comprehensive Reporting:

    • Through detailed observation logs and reports, our avian monitors provide valuable insights into species behavior and habitat use. This data not only supports compliance but also contributes to broader avian conservation efforts and project planning.

Offshore Project Liaison Services

Offshore Project Liaisons

Our Offshore Project Liaison services allow us to act as dedicated representatives for your interests, ensuring smooth, compliant, and efficient offshore operations. Our liaison services enhance communication, efficiency, and compliance by bridging the gap between field operations and project management.

  • Monitor and Document:

    • Oversee operational activities, verify survey equipment calibrations, and provide comprehensive daily activity reports.

  • Ensure Compliance:

    • Maintain strict adherence to HSE (Health, Safety, and Environmental) protocols throughout your projects.

  • Uphold Standards:

    • Ensure all data collected meets the highest standards of accuracy, reliability, and relevance to your project's objectives.
