Oceanic Survey

An oceanic survey is a detailed exploration and mapping of the ocean floor, water conditions, and underwater features. It involves collecting data on seabed terrain, depths, and underwater structures using ships, submarines, and advanced technology like sonar and remotely operated vehicles. This information helps in navigation, resource assessment, environmental protection, and scientific research. Essentially, oceanic surveys provide a comprehensive understanding of the ocean's physical characteristics, supporting safe maritime operations and advancing knowledge about marine ecosystems and geology.
