We are a global leader in marine mammal consulting and applied research. We deliver innovative, robust and environmentally sound solutions to clients active in the marine environment. We work closely with our academic partners, the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU), the Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling (CREEM) at the University of St. Andrews and the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington.

We provide sound strategic advice to regulators and government departments based on the latest marine mammal science and technologies. Alongside the University of St. Andrews, we have developed an interim framework for assessing the population consequences of noise disturbance on marine mammals (PCoD). We also regularly provide guidance documents on various elements of marine mammal science as it relates to regulation, monitoring and policy.

We provide specialist input to all stages of the EIA process, from screening through to post-construction monitoring of marine mammals. We design and conduct visual and acoustic surveys, and analyse data for marine mammals. We have developed a range of passive acoustic monitoring technology using neural networks to monitor marine mammals in near real-time.

We create custom research into marine mammal interactions with infrastructure and human activities. Our science team combines world-leading experience and skills with our engineering team’s advanced passive acoustic monitoring products and services to develop novel marine mammal monitoring and mitigation solutions for industry.
