Fisheries Habitat Mapping

Fugro Pelagos offers a full range of expert services in support of fisheries habitat mapping programs, including high resolution seafloor mapping, project consultation, project management, data analysis and interpretation. The company's research and development efforts have resulted in pioneering advances with multibeam echosounder acoustic backscatter technology. The result is high quality bathymetric and seabed imagery data that is acquired rapidly at sea. With the co-registered datasets, superior data integration and visualization are possible, making interpretation of fisheries and benthic habitats much clearer for resource managers and the lay public.

Fugro Pelagos has pioneered, and continues to promote, the concept of "dual-use" data collection. They have been very successful in coordinating marine surveys for several government agencies with the ability to deliver one dataset that supports all participants' missions. The integrated datasets can be delivered in GIS formats and web-served for rapid and wide geographic accessibility. They can operate from their own fleet of vessels or can deploy on customer's vessels or vessels of opportunity.
