Venterra Group is expanding its marine hard-bottom benthic and hard-structure offerings with support from marine science consultancy INSPIRE Environmental and seafloor imaging company Marine Imaging Technologies. The expanded service aims to monitor marine growth on introduced hard surfaces and native hard bottoms to assess the impacts of offshore wind project developments. It will also support nature-based scour and cable protection designs, climate adaptation projects and the collection of high-resolution 3D videos for science education and communication.
