Port/Harbor Surveys
Port or harbor surveys are detailed assessments of underwater areas in and around ports and harbors. These surveys measure water depth, map the seafloor, and identify potential obstacles to navigation, such as rocks or wrecks. They ensure safe shipping routes for vessels, support construction projects, and help manage marine resources. Using specialized equipment like sonar and GPS, hydrographic surveyors collect and analyze data to create accurate maps and reports, essential for navigation safety and environmental management in busy maritime areas.
