Services
Sustainable Fisheries Management
Our fisheries management systems combine satellite tracking, vessel monitoring, and big data analytics to optimize resource sustainability. We provide real-time catch reporting, fleet management tools, and regulatory compliance solutions for commercial and small-scale fisheries. With 35+ years of marine expertise, we help clients balance ecological health with economic viability through science-based decision support systems.
Metocean Consultancy
We deliver comprehensive metocean solutions spanning offshore wind resource assessment, coastal engineering, and operational forecasting. Our DeepCLiDAR technology integrates floating LiDAR with satellite telemetry to provide high-resolution atmospheric and oceanographic data. This enables clients to make informed decisions for energy projects, port developments, and climate adaptation strategies through predictive modeling and risk analysis.
Maritime Surveillance
Our maritime domain awareness systems combine satellite imagery, AIS tracking, and machine learning to monitor ocean activities. We help government agencies detect illegal fishing, pollution, and security threats through real-time vessel tracking and anomaly detection. With access to 300+ satellites, we provide global coverage for border control, environmental protection, and maritime law enforcement operations.
Coastal Resilience Planning
We develop flood risk models and climate adaptation strategies using advanced hydrodynamic modeling and historical data analysis. Our Massachusetts Coast Flood Risk Model predicts sea level rise impacts with 90% accuracy, helping municipalities plan infrastructure investments. We partner with cities like Boston on initiatives like Climate Ready Boston to create adaptive coastal defenses that protect communities and ecosystems.
Satellite Telemetry
Our satellite-based tracking systems monitor environmental conditions and wildlife movements globally. Using Argos and Iridium networks, we collect real-time data from remote sensors on ocean currents, animal migration patterns, and climate indicators. This technology supports biodiversity conservation, climate research, and environmental compliance monitoring for clients ranging from NOAA to private energy companies.
