Marine & Coastal Monitoring

Tracking ocean changes from shoreline to reef.

What We Do

OPS provides long-term marine and coastal monitoring to track ecological change, assess environmental conditions, and guide effective conservation strategies. Our work supports science-based decision-making in coastal communities, particularly in island and nearshore environments vulnerable to climate impacts and development. With expertise in SCUBA, drone surveys, and coastal ecology, OPS helps clients the insights needed to understand and monitor ecosystem change over time.
