marine environmental surveys

Marine environmental surveys are studies conducted to assess the health and conditions of ocean ecosystems. They involve collecting data on water quality, marine life, seabed conditions, and pollution levels. These surveys help scientists and policymakers understand the impact of human activities like shipping, fishing, and construction on marine environments. By gathering detailed information, they support sustainable management of marine resources, conservation efforts, and the protection of biodiversity. Typically, surveys use ships, underwater robots, and various instruments to observe and analyze ocean conditions, ensuring informed decisions that promote the health of marine ecosystems.
