Tailored Monitoring Programs for Long-Term Viability

The marine environment is particularly dynamic and changes regularly. It is also the case that any structure built or placed in the sea is prone to degradation over time and must, therefore, be inspected to ensure that they remain functional, safe, and economically viable.

Baseline surveying provides a snapshot of the condition of a structure or seabed at any one time, whereas well-designed monitoring programmes permit the accurate measurement of temporal change.

Innovative science-based techniques

Tritonia employs pioneering scientific techniques and technologies to survey and monitor in the marine environment.

We offer a personalised service whereby one, some or all of the methods outlined can be used separately or combined to suit the client’s requirements.

Enhanced Intertidal Surveying: Precision Mapping for Aquaculture

Intertidal surveys employ advanced 3D photogrammetry services using low-tide aerial drone surveys. These capture detailed imagery, creating precise photogrammetric maps for intertidal aquaculture zones. The resulting orthomosaic models integrate geographical data with shore elevation details, offering a comprehensive view.

This detailed insight aids in managing intertidal aquaculture sites with greater accuracy and informed decision-making within the aquaculture sector.

Empowering Aquaculture Sustainability: Innovating Through Biosecurity Surveys

Our commitment to revolutionising aquaculture sustainability extends to our specialised biosecurity surveys. In collaboration with industry experts, we provide tailored guidance for developing site-specific biosecurity plans crucial for protecting marine ecosystems. These plans are essential in preventing the introduction and proliferation of non-native species, mitigating potential threats to biodiversity and the aquaculture sector.

Our comprehensive approach addresses the critical need for biosecurity measures within aquaculture businesses. By leveraging advanced surveying techniques and expert knowledge, we equip industry stakeholders with the tools to proactively protect their operations and contribute to the longevity of the marine environment.

Underwater Infrastructure Evaluation and Mapping Solutions

Our consultancy extends comprehensive services in evaluating and mapping underwater infrastructure, leveraging cutting-edge 3D photogrammetry and diving expertise. Through meticulous underwater surveys, we assess the condition of aquaculture infrastructure—nets, cages, and support structures—providing detailed mapping of their layouts and structural integrity.

This combined approach not only offers an in-depth analysis of infrastructure conditions but also provides precise bathymetric mapping. These detailed underwater topographic maps aid in site selection, planning, and understanding the underwater terrain for efficient and strategic deployment of aquaculture installations. Our integrated services ensure that aquaculture businesses can maintain, repair, or plan their infrastructure with accuracy and foresight, contributing to operational efficiency and sustainability within the industry.
