Site Risk Assessment (SRA)

NextOcean's SRA service enables aquaculture stakeholders to optimise operations, mitigate risks, and ensure long-term success. SRA provides comprehensive insights into the environmental conditions and potential risks affecting aquaculture sites. With access to MetOcean data, oil spill detection, and marine heatwave early warning, stakeholders can make informed decisions regarding site selection, risk management, and operational planning.

NextOcean's SRA service empowers users with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate complex environmental challenges and unlock the full potential of aquaculture ventures.

Maritime Regulatory Authorities
 
  • Historical data can be used to assess the longterm conditions for an area under consideration for aquaculture activity.
 
  • The oil spill service allows authorities to assess the historical impact from maritime traffic on both the environment and human activity in the area (e.g. aquaculture, coastal tourism) in order to support regulation and control.

Heatwave warnings for aquaculture managers


Early warning of marine heatwaves is of critical importance to any form of aquaculture activity as fish growth and survival are directly linked to environmental conditions such as water temperature. By knowing in advance the level of risk due to exposure to a heat wave, fish farm managers can plan the appropriate action such as adapting the feeding strategy or moving cages to a less exposed area.
