OCEANOGRAPHIC SERVICES
NAMCO can manage, run, or participate in oceanographic and marine science projects.
This includes scientific data collection (plankton, water, benthic infauna, etc), and oceanographic data (tide, current, weather, physicochemical, etc).
We are also able to assist in the design and operation of specialist programs such as sediment flux, dredge plume monitoring, and drill-cutting plume monitoring.
NAMCO is equipped to manage, run, or participate in a variety of oceanographic and marine science projects.
Our expertise covers a broad spectrum of activities essential for comprehensive marine research and environmental monitoring.
Scientific Data Collection
NAMCO specializes in the collection of various types of scientific data, which is crucial for understanding marine ecosystems:
- Plankton Sampling: Monitoring plankton populations to assess ocean health and primary productivity.
- Water Sampling: Gathering water samples to analyze chemical properties and pollutants.
- Benthic Infauna Surveys: Studying organisms that live within sea floor sediments to assess environmental conditions.
Oceanographic Data Collection
Our team is proficient in collecting oceanographic data, which provides insights into physical and chemical properties of the marine environment:
- Tide Monitoring: Observing tidal patterns to understand sea level changes and their impacts.
- Current Measurements: Analyzing ocean currents to study water movement and its effects on marine life.
- Weather Observations: Collecting meteorological data to predict weather patterns and their influence on marine environments.
- Physicochemical Analysis:Assessing the physical and chemical properties of seawater for environmental monitoring.
Specialized Program Design and Operation
NAMCO can design and operate specialized programs that address specific environmental concerns:
- Sediment Flux Monitoring:Evaluating sediment transport and deposition in marine habitats.
- Dredge Plume Monitoring:Tracking the impact of dredging activities on water quality and marine ecosystems.
- Drill-Cutting Plume Monitoring:Assessing the dispersion of drill cuttings and their effects on the surrounding environment.
With our comprehensive suite of services and expertise, NAMCO is poised to support a wide range of oceanographic research and monitoring initiatives, contributing to sustainable marine resource management and conservation.
