Survey tools

Using the right tools and techniques is vital to accurately assess our marine environment. By designing, developing and trialling new survey tools we remain at the forefront of marine science.

The range of monitoring tools we use is covered in detail in our Research vessel, Marine instrumentation and Monitoring and mapping sections. You will find information about:

The evidence we gather from these devices helps us to characterise the seabed, map habitats, create hydrodynamic and other models, and advise on water quality, environmental impacts and climate change.

Please follow the links above to find out more about our work. In time, we will populate this section with more specific scientific outputs and reports.
