We can intervene at all stages of a project:
- Environmental Baseline Study (EBS)
- Design of Avoid, Reduce or Compensate measures (impact study)
- Monitoring of operating impacts and design of adaptation measures
Environmental Baseline Studies can take the form of
seabed mapping, studies of the
quality of the marine environment, or
inventories of fauna and flora. They are conducted both close to the coast and offshore, at shallow depths as well as in very great depths.
At the design stage and depending on the data collected during the initial assessment, CREOCEAN works with contracting authorities to
prevent projects from affecting the marine environment. The objective is
to avoid negative impacts. If this is not possible, we must strive for
impact reduction and lastly intelligent
compensation.
Monitoring is carried out once the industrial project is complete. This involves conducting various studies on different
compartments of the marine environment to estimate the impact of operations.
These controls vary in terms of sampling effort or frequency, size of project and the requirements of each country.
CREOCEAN teams work both nationally and internationally for private industrial operators or public entities:
- Chemical industry
- Petroleum industry
- Extraction of marine aggregates
- Cable industry
- Marine Renewable Energies
- Commercial ports
- Aquaculture
