The survey reached depths of more than 2000m. The Fugro Venturer, a geophysical vessel, collected sediment samples for environmental and chemical analysis before an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) captured seabed video footage. Additionally, Fugro acquired in situ full ocean depth water profiles and water samples to measure the current biodiversity. The Geo-data collected through this survey will support the identification of potentially sensitive habitats, advance knowledge of remote seamounts, and contribute to informed project planning and resource management. Furthermore, the geophysical survey will provide insights into the underwater landscape, ensuring the safe movement and operation of offshore assets within the designated area #whyafrica #whypowerafrica #energy #environmentalmanagement #fossilfuels #exploration #drilling #naturalresources #offshore #namibia Fugro Galp https://lnkd.in/eAZ8mW26
