At DSA Ocean we specialize in providing comprehensive ocean engineering services tailored for the design and development of seaweed and shellfish farms. Our expertise ensures that your aquaculture projects are not only sustainable but also optimized for maximum yield and will be more resilient in extreme storm events such as hurricanes.
We’ve designed farms in Alaska, British Columbia, Washington State, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. We work with your preferred suppliers to come up with cost effective designs that meet the demands of your site.
Understanding the marine environment is crucial for the success of any aquaculture project. We utilize state-of-the-art Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) to measure and analyze current patterns. Combined with detailed desktop metocean studies, we provide a thorough characterization of the marine environment, ensuring that your farm is designed to thrive in its specific location.
Using the data collected from our environmental studies, we design customized solutions for your seaweed or shellfish farm. Our designs include:
We conduct comprehensive marine dynamic analysis to ensure that your farming system is safe to operate under various marine conditions. This analysis helps us design systems that can withstand dynamic forces such as waves, currents, and storms, ensuring the longevity and safety of your farm.
