MONITORING & REPORTING

Monitoring

Our responsibility extends beyond artificial reef construction and installation; we meticulously monitor our projects to evaluate their ecological impact and effectiveness. 

Our team of scientists are deeply committed to sustainability and driven by innovation. To validate the efficacy of our products and provide concrete results to our clients, we utilise a range of cutting-edge technologies for monitoring and assessment of our aquatic habitats. These include:
•    Sonar (side-scan, multibeam and live imaging)
•    Stereo Baited Remote Underwater Video Stations (BRUVs)
•    Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
•    Remote sensor buoys
•    Hydroacoustics
•    Acoustic and conventional tagging
•    Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis
•    Diver transects
•    Creel surveys
•    Angler diary programs
•    AI and machine learning

Our customised scientific approach ensures that our products are not only effective but also at the forefront of ecological innovation. The capture and analysis of critical data allow us to conduct thorough biomass and productivity assessments to clearly demonstrate the positive environmental impacts. This comprehensive monitoring strategy underscores our commitment to delivering environmentally sound and scientifically validated solutions.

Reporting

For each project, we deliver comprehensive environmental impact reporting. These reports are essential for showcasing environmental improvements, meeting environmental offset requirements, and achieving positive social outcomes for our clients. Our service enables clients to translate the environmental benefits of their projects into quantifiable socio-economic advantages. This is particularly important for demonstrating compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and achieving positive Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) outcomes.

This approach not only provides clients with a clear understanding of the project's benefits but also facilitates the communication of these advantages to the wider community and regulatory bodies.
