Underwater construction
Underwater construction projects, including offshore renewables, harbors, cabling, aquaculture and real estate, are essential to meet the growing demands of our energy transition and economic growth.
How we support your underwater construction business:
- Standard impact reporting: We provide comprehensive impact analyses before, during, and after construction. In addition, we offer advanced visualizations to enhance transparency and credibility of your efforts.
- Driving nature-positive outcomes: The seafloor reveals much more than just the direct impact of construction. As a reflection of the surrounding ocean, it highlights ecosystem stressors. These data allow you to go beyond mitigation and actively contribute to nature-positive initiatives. By reanalyzing our data, we can identify root causes of ecosystem degradation, enabling precise and targeted restoration efforts to compensate for environmental impacts.
- Finding the optimal construction site: Coastal ecosystems often face significant degradation, making them ideal candidates for construction, minimizing harm to healthier areas. Our technology can identify these degraded sites with a single survey along the coast. For cabling or other projects requiring passage through healthier areas, our data can help offset impacts by highlighting restoration opportunities elsewhere. Our actionable insights will guide restoration efforts and provide measurable data to showcase your environmental successes.
Nature-based solutions
Thriving ecosystems provide numerous benefits, including carbon capture, habitat protection for endangered species, biodiversity restoration, and support for community livelihoods, such as fisheries. They also offer significant advantages for industrial interests, including coastal protection, real estate, insurance (e.g. reefs mitigating storm surges), and tourism.
How we support nature-based solutions:
- Transparency and credibility: Our technology is designed to analyze the health of marine ecosystems. We deliver data products that visualize the progress of nature-based solutions while providing credibility by accurately measuring carbon capture and storage, as well as biodiversity metrics (e.g., key species, reef builders, endangered or invasive species).
- Rapid insights: Our efficient data processing allows for quick decision-making, enabling stressor management and proactive adjustments to projects.
- Example “seagrass monitoring”: For seagrass meadows, we can measure biomass, carbon stock, ecosystem health, and biodiversity, offering comprehensive insights to maximize project success.
Marine restoration and artificial reefs
Artificial reefs, seagrass planting, coral replanting, and other ecosystem restoration programs are powerful tools to enhance marine habitats, foster recovery, and boost biodiversity. These initiatives also deliver additional benefits such as supporting fisheries recovery and promoting tourism.
How we support marine restoration and artificial reef development:
- Identifying and addressing ecosystem stressors: Whether you have already selected a site or are searching for a suitable location, our technology can identify ecosystem stressors that contributed to the decline of the habitat. Understanding and addressing these underlying issues is critical to ensuring your restoration efforts lead to long-term success.
- Geo-referenced progress monitoring: All our data products are geo-referenced, enabling precise tracking of progress over time e.g., monitoring biomass, biodiversity, and carbon capture. Through color-coded visualizations, we provide easily comprehensible insights to share your project’s success with key stakeholders, including local communities, governments, and funding organizations.
- Rapid data turnaround for adaptation: If your project faces unforeseen challenges, our technology can quickly identify emerging stressors, such as new anthropogenic pressures or disease outbreaks. This allows for timely action, ensuring the continued success of your initiatives.
