M2Ocean Solutions Inc.
The Marine Monitoring and Observation Network, or M2Ocean, aims at establishing a comprehensive and integrated network for monitoring and observing the marine environment. The M2Ocean focuses on gathering data and information about the oceans through various monitoring methods and technologies.
The information collected through M2Ocean contributes to a better understanding of ocean dynamics, climate change impacts, pollution, and the overall state of the marine environment. This knowledge is vital for informed decision-making, policy development, and the implementation of effective measures to protect and sustainably manage our oceans.
M2Ocean is the sole distributor of the unique HydroBall® hydrographic survey solutions. The HydroBall® buoy is an autonomous bathymetric data acquisition solution that is particularly efficient in non-traditional environments including rivers, canyons, reservoirs, ultra-coastal zones, and remote locations. Data collected by the HydroBall® buoy can be contributed to the IHO DCDB.
