About

DEFRA awarded a contract to OceanMind Limited for the analysis of vessel pressure from remote sensing and AIS data.

The project involved providing a baseline report on recreational boating and industrial vessel activity over the Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) for seals in The Wash and Norfolk Coast.

The analysis reviewed electro-optical imagery of the Area of Interest (AOI) with cloud cover not exceeding 10% over a six-year period from January 2018 to December 2023, all vessels transmitting via the Automatic Identification System (AIS), and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) 'Night Lights' data to address limitations of EO imagery.

The contract value was £114,999.
