Water quality
Measuring water quality is essential to any programme
monitoring marine processes and the health of the aquatic
environment. Cefas takes an ecosystem
approach, where the interaction of all elements are studied
together, in order to understand how aquatic systems operate.
We have more than 50 years' experience in environmental-quality
monitoring and assessment, and we use our expertise to provide
advice on improving water quality.
Our in situ monitoring equipment provides
cost-effective and up-to-date data. This helps us to detect and
identify environmental changes over long time periods.
We also have an established international reputation for
expertise in designing and operating autonomous monitoring
equipment and supporting software systems. Our SmartBuoys provide
long-term observations of physical, chemical and biological changes
from the sea's surface to its seabed.
Our services include:
- management and policy advice for improving water quality
- advice on the design of monitoring programmes to assess water
quality
- deployment of autonomous instrumentation
- data collection, analysis and interpretation
- real-time observation and telemetry of water-quality data
- geographical information systems (GIS) for data handling
- computer modelling.
