Sea View Marine Sciences specializes in providing expert guidance for planning and assessment analyses for a variety of marine research projects. This includes marine mammal and underwater acoustics support, including Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), for real-time bioacoustics monitoring of marine mammal and industrial activities. Our team has experience with a broad range of applications, including dredging, pile installation, drilling, military operations, near-shore blasting, ambient noise monitoring, and underwater detonations.
We have extensive expertise in ultrasonic and sonic acoustic monitoring and support compliance with Fisheries Act Authorizations (FAAs) in Canada and Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) permits in the United States.
Our monitoring services include day and night visual detection of marine mammals, and passive acoustic monitoring of marine mammals and underwater noise. We can provide real-time sound pressure levels (SPLs), and cumulative sound exposure levels (SELs) for compliance monitoring.
Accredited Marine Mammal Observers (MMOs) and Protected Species Observers (PSOs) for marine mammals, seabirds, and turtles.
Designing and implementing practical strategies for the protection of marine mammals during marine and nearshore operations.
Comprehensive sampling for water quality assessments.
Data collection and synthesis for environmental assessments.
Offering fully equipped vessels and captains for research and operational support, including vessel delivery.
Conducting specialized research on endangered marine species.
Technical field and logistical support – Providing the necessary infrastructure, equipment, and knowledge to support successful coastal marine operations.
Tailored Marine Mammal Awareness training programs for First Nations communities.
Real-time bioacoustic monitoring using calibrated hydrophones.
Designing and implementing environmental management measures to protect marine species under federal authorisations and permits during nearshore and in-water construction, marine operations and demolitions.
Private guided tours for marine mammals, birds, and coastal scenery.
Rapid deployment for marine incidents.
Our team at Sea View Marine Sciences offers professional wildlife monitoring services, including certified Marine Mammal Observers (MMOs) and Protected Species Observers (PSOs), ensuring the protection of marine mammals, seabirds, and turtles during industrial operations.
We have extensive experience with a wide variety of species, ranging from the Canadian Arctic to the tropical waters of the Galapagos Islands to the Antarctic Circle. Our expertise also includes working with highly endangered and cryptic species, such as the Vaquita, found exclusively in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico. Additionally, we collaborate with expert advisors for seabird and turtle monitoring as needed.
Sea View Marine Sciences provides cutting-edge underwater acoustic monitoring, specializing in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) for real-time bioacoustic assessment of marine mammals and industrial activities. Our services are crucial for monitoring operations such as dredging, pile driving, blasting, and underwater detonations.
We offer advanced high-frequency monitoring to ensure compliance with Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) permits in the U.S. Our services include the monitoring of real-time sound pressure levels (SPLs) for mitigation purposes and the computation of cumulative sound exposure levels (SELs).
Sea View Marine Sciences offers specialized vessel charter services with certified captains to support your marine operations. Our research vessel, Monobel, is designed to handle a wide variety of coastal operations efficiently and effectively.
With decades of experience in commercial maritime operations, our captains are proficient with a range of propulsion systems, including rudder, outdrive, outboard, jets, and surface drives, as well as coastal tug operations. We are highly familiar with both coastal and offshore waters, navigational equipment, and pilotage procedures.
In addition, Sea View Marine Sciences has extensive experience in field operations, including remote field camp mobilization and demobilization, small vessel operation, independent research in remote locations, and the acquisition of environmental and biological samples.
