What Are Underwater Surveys and Why Are They Important?
Underwater surveys are used to document the abundance and diversity of marine life. This is used to keep track of our marine resources, as well as monitor the health and functioning of underwater ecosystems. Surveys also help determine their response to stress from storms to long-term climate change.
Surveys that We Have Helped Conduct
We aid government and non-government organisation involved in marine conservation and research with surveys, scientific diving and also provision of diving equipment.
Over the years we have conducted surveys for various marine research organisations, including National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) – Goa, The Center for Applied Sciences - Thiruvananthapuram, Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI).
We also assisted with the following surveys:
Over several years, we have led pre- and post-monsoon surveys of Netrani Island in Karnataka, Grande Island in Goa and of Muttom, Enayam and Kollam in Kerala for CMFRI. We were also the very first to conduct an underwater survey of Angria Banks, a submerged reef about 60 nautical miles off the coast of Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, for NIO on their then brand new research vessel R.V. Sindhu Sadhana in January, 2014.
