HOME PROJECTS
Selected
A snapshot of recent engagements across Australian waters — metocean campaigns, structural inspections, environmental surveys and acoustic assessments.
- Metocean & Environmental
Western Australia, Australia
November 2023 – June 2024
GAIA Marine supported a major maritime technology familiarisation program in Western Australia, helping deliver practical exposure to uncrewed underwater systems, mini-ROV operations, metocean instrumentation and subsea acoustic technologies for defence personnel.
- Metocean & Environmental
Victoria, Australia
June 2025
GAIA Marine delivered an offshore environmental baseline sampling campaign in Victoria, collecting sediment, water-column and benthic visual data to support future offshore energy development planning and environmental assessment.
- Metocean & Environmental
Pilbara, Western Australia
November 2025
GAIA Marine completed a high-level benthic habitat assessment in the Pilbara, using drop-camera imagery, georeferenced site records and a standardised habitat classification framework to support port maintenance and planning activities.
- Metocean & Environmental
Victoria, Australia
August 2025
Following the successful summer baseline campaign, GAIA Marine returned in winter to complete an expanded benthic habitat survey, delivering repeatable towed-camera acquisition, georeferenced imagery and high-resolution metadata across a revised marine infrastructure survey area.
- Metocean & Environmental
Victoria, Australia
February 2025
GAIA Marine completed the initial summer benthic habitat survey for proposed marine energy infrastructure in Victoria, establishing a georeferenced seabed imagery and metadata baseline to support environmental approvals and future survey planning.
- Acoustics
Pilbara, Western Australia
May–July 2024
GAIA Marine supported an offshore vessel acoustic signature assessment in Western Australia, measuring underwater radiated noise under controlled operating conditions to support vessel noise management, environmental assessment and alignment with international acoustic standards.
- Marine Fauna
Victoria, Australia
March–April 2025
GAIA Marine delivered marine fauna monitoring and mitigation support for an offshore geotechnical survey in Victoria, providing dedicated Marine Mammal Observers, HD/IR surveillance, real-time operational advice, vessel-speed monitoring and regulatory-aligned reporting across a 30-day offshore campaign.
- Marine Fauna
Victoria, Australia
October–December 2024
GAIA Marine delivered a full marine fauna monitoring and mitigation program for an offshore geophysical survey in Victoria, providing trained Marine Mammal Observers, HD/IR surveillance, regulatory-aligned procedures, real-time mitigation advice and final reporting to support compliant offshore survey operations.
- Inspection
South West Western Australia, Australia
February 2024
GAIA Marine delivered a subsea inspection technology demonstration for port infrastructure, showing how compact ROV systems, high-resolution visual inspection, imaging sonar and photogrammetry workflows can provide a safer and more data-rich alternative to conventional diver-based pile assessment.
- Geophysical
Pilbara, Western Australia
May 2026
GAIA Marine completed a targeted shallow-water multibeam hydrographic survey in Dampier following recent cyclonic activity, delivering high-resolution seabed and infrastructure-adjacent bathymetry to support condition assessment, damage review and future change detection across priority port areas.
- Geophysical
Pilbara, Western Australia
November 2025
GAIA Marine delivered a focused shallow-water survey for a jack-up barge mooring assessment in the Pilbara, combining USV-based multibeam bathymetry and drop-camera benthic habitat survey to support nearshore port infrastructure planning.
- Geophysical
Pilbara, Western Australia
November 2025 – March 2026
GAIA Marine delivered an integrated shallow-water survey program in the Pilbara, combining USV-based multibeam bathymetry, sub-bottom profiling, metocean monitoring and benthic habitat assessment to support port infrastructure planning in a constrained operational marine environment.
