The geophysical survey technologies employed by Neptune can be applied to environmental and ecological surveys to provide scientific data on the environmental impact of major industrial and construction operations in the marine environment.
With recent additional legislative pressures on companies operating in the marine environment being enforced, environmental impact assessments are becoming increasingly routine.
Additional equipment such as grab samplers, corers and underwater cameras are commonly mobilised for conducting benthic biological studies and sediment analysis in areas where construction activities are planned, particularly in areas where sensitive habitats and organisms may be present.
