CompanybackgroundECOES Consulting, Inc. is a woman‐owned small 

business established in 1998.  ECOES has been a 

leader  in  supplying protected marine species 

observers and equipment for a variety of marine 

industries. 

  

We began in a small Florida office focusing on 

manatee protection plans for construction and 

blasting activities and were quickly pulled into 

the arena of sound impacts to marine mammals 

and turtles.  Through experience and data 

acquisition we moved into a wide variety of 

industries requiring sound mitigation protocols, 

permitted protection plans, and impact 

assessment for all types of marine species.    

  

We have logged thousands of offshore man‐

hours for protected species mitigation during 

geophysical, O&G, LNG, dredging, construction, 

and decommissioning projects throughout the 

world.    

  

We have expanded our field office locations and 

have had the great opportunity to team and 

work with many different companies as their 

marine mammal & sea turtle experts within 

larger projects.  

We strive to minimize operational downtime 

while maintaining full compliance with 

regulations using the highest scientific standards. 

   

LookingAhead

As the oceans and coastlines continue to develop 

and impacts to marine species need to be better 

understood, it becomes increasingly important for 

consultancies such as ECOES to keep up with 

emerging technologies.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ECOES is deeply involved in new systems 

development for detection, enumeration, and 

protection of marine species that will assist clients 

in their mitigation and assessment needs while 

providing comprehensive scientific data to 

researchers and regulators.

The heart of our business, ECOES supplies trained monitoring personnel qualified to work in any marine industry where impacts to marine protected species must be monitored or mitigated. We have been a leader in providing compliance personnel for the offshore oil & gas, wind, and seismic industries since 2002 and other industries since 1998.

ECOES has extensive experience working under all federal and many local and state agencies to meet permitting requirements. We can provide visual observers, acoustic observers, and aerial observers for any sized project

All our personnel carry appropriate certifications and permits for the assigned jobs and all have rigorous HSE training, offshore survival, medical and security clearances.

A c o u s t i c M o n i t o r i n g & c h a r a c t e r i z a t i o n s e r v i c e s ECOES has developed a state of the art bioacoustics monitoring system, SeaBAM, in collaboration with Hydroscience Technologies, Inc., and Cornell University’s Bioacoustics Research Laboratory.

We have successfully deployed this system throughout the US Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and the European North Sea on seismic and research vessels. We are capable of providing research, mitigation and survey services for any project parameters.

Along with acoustic species surveys, ECOES can provide noise footprint assessment for construction operations and vessel noise measurements. We offer calibration services for installation of each system to insure you are meeting your permitting goals.
