Company
Originally incorporated in 2004, Ocean Science Consulting Limited (OSC) is a technology-focused marine science company involved principally in providing environmental services worldwide. OSC specialises in marine mammal and underwater-sound monitoring, acoustical and statistical modelling, ROV surveys, and image-data analyses, with a track record for providing environmental monitoring (mitigation for regulatory compliance) and scientific research (field studies and experiments) for a large clientele and range of marine industries.
We differ from competitors in that we use employees where possible in the field and/or managing teams, and draw from our database of thousands of previously tried and tested contractors, where demand exceeds supply. On top of our expertise and experience, OSC is ISO certified for 9001, 14001, and 45001. (i.e. certified as pre-qualified contractors), so clients are guaranteed a high standard of service. Headquartered in Scotland, OSC also has offices in New Zealand and Greece.
Provision of MMO, PAM & ADD Services
OSC staff are JNCC-certified Marine Mammal Observers (MMOs), hold the full suite of offshore safety qualifications, and have additional experience with Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), scientific research, data analysis, reporting, etc. OSC holds an expansive stock of PAM and noise measurement systems, as well as Acoustic Deterrent Devices (ADDs). In addition to simply supplying these services, we publish on these topics as well, with several articles on ADDs and marine mammal and seabird sightings from operations, and many more in preparation… watch this space!

OSC has educated and trained hundreds of personnel worldwide, and wrote the non-profit industry Handbook on MMO and PAM to improve professional standards worldwide. We are Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC)-approved to train MMOs in the UK, Department of Conservation (DOC)-approved to train MMO & PAM operators in New Zealand, and Ocean Conservation Administration (OCA)-approved to train Taiwanese Cetacean Observers (TCOs).
