Oceanographic Surveys

Oceanographic surveys are systematic studies of the ocean’s physical, chemical, biological, and geological properties. They involve collecting data through ships, underwater vehicles, and sensors to understand aspects like water temperature, salinity, currents, marine life, and seabed features. These surveys help scientists monitor environmental changes, discover new species or resources, and support sustainable ocean management. They are essential for gaining a comprehensive picture of ocean health, informing climate research, and guiding maritime activities such as shipping, fisheries, and resource extraction.
