What is the BlueInvest Project Pipeline?
Mapping surveys performed for private- or public-sector clients provide technical data (bathymetric data, seabed characterisation, currents, etc.) and environmental data (habitat and environmental sensitivity, geodiversity and biodiversity inventory) for applications ranging from marine heritage inventory to industrial projects.
In addition to this operational component, ABYSSA also provides advice and data analysis services. Prior to launching any exploration, ABYSSA works with the client to specify the objectives and content of the exploration campaign. Together with the ABYSSA scientific team, we also carry out analysis and interpretation of the data collected.
Given the current lack of knowledge about the deep ocean environment, this data is essential for making informed decisions.
ABYSSA
Jean-Marc Sornin, founder and President of ABYSSA, has 40 years experience in oceanography and is a successful entrepreneur

Deep Sea surveys with AUVs provide high resolution geophysical and biological data, improving knowledge of deep ocean seabed and habitats, and enabling wise and informed décisions about its protection
AUV coordinated swarms allow more extensive and more precise data collection at a reduced cost, compared with surface oceanographic vessels
