Marine Environmental Surveys & Services
Environment Arabia offers comprehensive marine survey services supported by a full array of state-of-the-art equipment and three survey vessels located within the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Our core work includes the collection of scientifically robust baseline data, used to support EIA, in addition to short and long-term monitoring programmes.
Our clients include both government and private sectors associated with some of the largest projects in the Middle East.
We offer services within four key sectors including: Scientific SCUBA diving; Remote video surveys; Environmental sampling and Intertidal surveys.
Remotely Video Surveys
We own and operate a commercial grade ROV rated to 305 m depth and featuring an Ultra High Definition (UHD) 4k camera, laser scaler and lighting system. Underwater navigation is supported by a USBL system enabling tracking along predetermined flight paths.
Our ROV versatility enables assessment of seafloor features (biota and topography) and built infrastructure (e.g. pipelines, jetties).
Habitat Classification
To facilitate high-level site assessment and to support seafloor habitat mapping, we offer HD geo-referenced Remote Video Surveys. The system enables remote assessment of seafloor communities in support of subsequent SCUBA surveys.
Our system can operate in water depths extending to 100 m and be fitted with external lighting and a quadrat to facilitate quantitative assessment of select epibiota.
Mangroves Survey
Assessment of mangrove habitat focuses upon physical, biological and chemical components. Field measurements are in line with internationally (e.g. Kauffman & Donato, 2012), and regionally (i.e. PERSGA, 2019) accepted methodologies and include sediment coring to evaluate below ground carbon storage.
We employ latest technology within our scope including the use of 2D and 3D UHD drone imagery in support of mapping works.
Intertidal Surveys
Intertidal surveys are typically employed to provide verification of habitat types (i.e. habitat classification) and distribution in support of satellite derived habitat mapping.
They also confirm the presence of sensitive receptors including avifaunal and turtle nesting sites.
We employ various techniques including transects, box cores and UHD drone imagery.
Sediment Sampling
Seabed sediments are sampled via the use of a surface operated Van-Veen grab, and/or diver cores. Samples are stored as per industry standards and analysed within accredited laboratories for physical, chemical and biological attributes.
Where macrobenthos assessment is required, samples are sieved using a 0.5 mm macrofaunal mesh and preserved onsite.
Regional experts are commissioned to conduct microscopic sorting and identification and community structure analysed by our in-house staff using the statistical software PRIMER 7 (PRIMER-E Ltd., Plymouth, UK).
Plankton sampling
We operate a range of solitary, and bongo paired, nets of various mesh sizes to suit the requirements of individual projects and to collect phytoplankton and zooplankton specimens.
Our zooplankton nets are fitted with flow meters to record the volume of water sampled per trawl and to facilitate quantitative assessment.
Samples are preserved onsite and subsequently analysed (identification and quantification), by regional experts, prior to data presentation via univariate and multivariate statistical analysis.
Water sampling
Samples are collected using delayed sampling devices (i.e. Niskin, Van Dorne) at defined water depths. Strict field protocols are applied to sample collection and preservation, and with an understanding of individual parameter holding times so as to ensure viability, with subsequent physical, chemical and biological analysis by accredited laboratories.
In situ measurements are recorded using a range of equipment including an in vivo chlorophyll α meter, free and total chlorine meter, PAR loggers, and a YSI PRO DSS multiparameter probe to measure key parameters (i.e. pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature), either as spot measurements or via a depth profile.
Scientific Diving – SCUBA
Scientific diving is led by our HSE (UK) qualified scientific commercial divers and conforms to rigid HSE regulations including annual dive medicals, and certified/tested equipment; all divers are in receipt of internationally accepted commercial dive insurance. We own and operate a wide range of bespoke equipment including high definition video and still cameras. SCUBA diving enables the collection of key ecological data, and installation of scientific recording equipment, including but not limited to the following:
Coral reef
Employment of internationally adopted scientific survey approaches (e.g. AGGRA and ROPME) to assess coral communities (e.g. abundance, diversity, health, recruits). We adopt in situ techniques to assess coral reef composition (i.e. size and morphology) and associated invertebrate communities.
Seagrass
Quantitative assessment as per internationally accepted methods (e.g. Seagrass Watch, McKenzie et.al (2003)) via the use of line transects and photo quadrats.
Fish communities
Belt transects and Roving Diver (RD) techniques so as to determine species diversity, abundance and, fish size. Identification of indicator taxa are used in support of key habitat assessments (e.g. coral reef communities).
Recording equipment
We own, operate and deploy various equipment including, but not limited to ADCPs, BRUVs, sediment traps and water quality loggers.
Seafloor Habitat Mapping
Environment Arabia can provide, in conjunction with ground truthing works, seafloor habitat mapping using recent multispectral satellite imagery and remote sensing techniques via the software ENVI and ARCGIS PRO. Seafloor habitat mapping provides information regarding the type and geographical extent of habitats thus providing a valuable tool within development planning and micro siting works.
Artificial Reefs
Partnering with our sister company, Reef Arabia, Environment Arabia manages the complete lifecycle of artificial reefs—from site selection and unit design to deployment and ongoing monitoring. These artificial reefs support marine biodiversity by providing new habitats and enhancing fish populations.
