Tidal Studies

Tidal studies in hydrographic surveying involve measuring and analyzing the rise and fall of ocean tides to understand their impact on coastal and marine environments. These studies help determine water levels at different times, which is crucial for safe navigation, marine construction, and coastal management. By collecting data over time, surveyors can predict tidal patterns, assess sediment movement, and monitor changes in coastal landscapes. Accurate tidal information is essential for creating reliable nautical charts and ensuring the safety of vessels and marine operations. Overall, tidal studies are key to effective coastal planning and resource management.
