Satellite Monitoring, Marine Ecological Expertise

Offshore Energy

We give offshore wind developers and their consultancies one continuous, satellite based record of the water around their project, from the first baseline survey through decades of operation. That record supports permitting evidence, construction impact monitoring, biological risk detection, and the compliance reporting your licence requires throughout operation.

Up to 50%

A single survey only captures one moment. Conditions before, during, and after construction rarely stay the same, and regulators, financiers, and site managers all need to see how they changed. Marmoris keeps that picture current for as long as the project operates, so nobody has to commission a fresh study every time something needs proving.

Built on evidence

Built specifically for offshore wind environmental monitoring, from baseline to operation

Marmoris works alongside the consultancies and developers who already run your environmental programme, pairing satellite monitoring with marine ecological expertise to interpret it. We do not replace your EIA consultancy. We give it a stronger, continuous evidence base to work from, before the permit and after it.

✓A methodology developed together with research groups at our partner universities and organisations.
✓Grounded in the BACI framework that regulators and financiers already trust.
✓Satellite indicators paired with eDNA sampling for baseline data collection, capturing biodiversity effects standard surveys miss, through our IBIS project.

Most environmental data providers specialise in one part of this picture, satellite monitoring or ecological expertise, but rarely both. Marmoris exists specifically in that gap.

What we do

Four ways we support your project, from baseline to operation

See construction impact before anyone has to ask

Continuous water quality and turbidity tracking through construction and operation, so you can show a regulator how conditions changed, and how quickly they recovered.

Catch risk before it costs you

Early screening for harmful algal blooms and other biological risk in and around your project zone, so a surprise does not become a stop work order.

Move through regulatory milestones faster

Multi year baseline characterisation and BACI framework evidence, delivered as a complete satellite data package in 3 to 4 weeks, whether the trigger is permitting, a construction milestone, or a scheduled compliance report.

Open a new revenue angle, not just a cost

Site feasibility modelling for co locating mussel or seaweed cultivation within a wind farm zone, turning a monitoring requirement into a potential return.

Through construction and operation

The work continues long after the permitting stage

Most of the work we do with developers happens during construction and operation, not the permitting window. Once construction starts, most licences carry ongoing environmental reporting obligations for the life of the farm.

✓What gets reported: construction impact indicators like water quality and turbidity, biological risk screening results, and the other ecological indicators tied to your specific permit conditions, all tracked on the same continuous record used for the original baseline.
✓Who it goes to: primarily your regulator, but the same evidence can support reporting to financiers, insurers, or public disclosure requirements, shaped to whichever audience needs it.
✓How it works: we keep the monitoring feed running through construction and operation, and deliver it on the schedule your reporting calendar requires, so your team or consultancy compiles from a live record instead of commissioning a fresh survey each time.

How it works

A clear path from first call to ongoing monitoring

Scoping call

We learn your site, your regulator, and where your timeline is most exposed, whether that is permitting, a construction milestone, or an operational risk like harmful algal blooms. No obligation.

Data collection plan

We define the indicators, resolution, and revisit frequency your case actually needs, covering water quality, construction impact, and biological risk indicators specific to your site.

Analysis and delivery

You receive a defensible, audit ready data package built on the BACI framework, whether it is supporting a permit application, a construction milestone, or a scheduled compliance report.

Ongoing monitoring

We keep the evidence record current through construction and into operation, screening for biological risk and feeding the reporting your licence requires along the way.

Beyond offshore wind

The same approach applies across offshore energy

Our focus is offshore wind. But the same approach, continuous satellite monitoring paired with eDNA and marine ecological expertise, applies to other offshore energy infrastructure too. CO2 storage and hydrogen pilot projects already commission the same kind of environmental impact studies offshore wind farms do, and gas platforms carry comparable obligations under the Mijnbouwwet (the Dutch Mining Act). If your project falls into one of these categories, get in touch, the same continuous evidence base applies.

Questions developers ask

Frequently asked

Does this replace our EIA consultancy? +

No. It plugs into one. We work alongside the consultancy and developer team that already runs your environmental programme, giving them a stronger, continuous evidence base rather than a one off survey snapshot.

Do you monitor during construction, not just before it? +

Yes. Continuous water quality and turbidity tracking runs through construction itself, alongside screening for harmful algal blooms and other biological risk in your project zone. Both run on the same live record used for the original permitting evidence, not as separate one off services.

What do you need from us to start? +

The project area, your reporting timeline, the regulator or body you report to, and any existing baseline data you hold. From there we build the data collection plan in the scoping stage.

How is data confidentiality handled? +

Project data and deliverables are treated as confidential and shared only with the people you name. We can work within your existing data handling and non disclosure requirements.

What timeline should we expect? +

A complete satellite EIA data package is typically delivered in 3 to 4 weeks. Construction impact tracking and biological risk screening run continuously once monitoring starts, and multi year baseline characterisation runs on a schedule we agree with you during scoping.

What geographic scope can you cover? +

We are active in the North Sea and Dutch waters today and can extend to other regions where suitable satellite coverage exists. Tell us your site and we will confirm what is feasible.

How does data cost affect the price? +

Wherever the accuracy your project needs can be met with open data such as Copernicus and Sentinel, that is what we use, which keeps your cost down. When a project genuinely needs higher resolution commercial imagery, we draw on Europe’s paid satellite infrastructure, and we explain why before you are committed to it.

Take the uncertainty out of your environmental baseline
