Hydrographic Surveys

Hydrographic surveys are detailed studies of bodies of water, such as oceans, rivers, and lakes, focusing on the measurement and description of their physical features. These surveys collect data on water depth, tides, currents, and underwater topography, which are essential for navigation, maritime construction, environmental protection, and resource management. The information gathered helps safe navigation for ships, informs coastal development decisions, and aids in understanding aquatic ecosystems. By accurately mapping underwater landscapes, hydrographic surveys play a crucial role in both economic activities and environmental conservation.
