Harness satellite technology to sustainably manage the Arabian Gulf

Benefit from satellite-based services

Viewing the Arabian Peninsula from Space reveals key insights on the surrounding shoreline and coastal waters. We transform this satellite imagery into actionable information. By high-quality data and online solutions, we enable our partners to develop, manage and protect aquatic environments along the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf. The target: A sustainable development of the GCC countries.

Water Quality Monitoring

Receive the data you need for the waters you manage via EOMAP monitoring solutions: Our data services, software and apps stand for quick, independent and cost-effective access to key water parameters. Let us empower you to keep an eye on coastal waters and thus increase project safety!

Bathymetry

Trust the tech-leader in Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB): Our award-winning technology allows to access shallow waters remotely. This reliable bathymetric data will strengthen your coastal planning, modelling or protection measures, while ensuring time and cost savings.

Digital Elevation Models

Hydrodynamic modelling is key to every phase of coastal zone management. We combine satellite with survey data to analyse shoreline and shallow waters. The result is a gridded, seamless 3-D-model of land and sea elevation.

Benthic Mapping

Profound knowledge on seafloor and benthic cover helps protecting marine habitats. With EOMAP, you will enjoy detailed insights even into the most remote habitats. This data can also serve as baseline for coastal infrastructure projects or impacts of climate change.

Shoreline Mapping

Due to waves, currents and storms coastlines keep changing. Satellite data can unveil these coastal dynamics. EOMAP provides shoreline type and stability classifications as well as change monitoring of shoreline dynamics, allowing for gain and loss calculations. This not only shows erosion trends over time and allows for wise spatial planning. It also simplifies land recovery and resilience projects.

Key applications

Building resilient coastal infrastructure

Coastal development and building infrastructure needs reliable data to make them more resilient to climate change. But planning, design and construction projects also call for simple and quick data access. This is what EOMAP’s satellite-based solutions offer – built on a fully physics-based method. Perfectly understanding that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, we provide individual service. Plus important cost and time savings compared to traditional survey methods.

Protecting marine environment

Aquatic environments are fascinating living spaces. Our team shares this fascination and an in-depth knowledge of marine habitats. In addition, we understand the role of seagrass meadows, coral reefs and mangroves as important carbon sinks and warrants of coastal resilience. Satellite-based services, such as seafloor classification and benthic mapping are not only key for marine protection measures. They can provide valuable decision support for planners, developpers and investors in the GCC region.

Developing sustainable tourism

Counting +40 million visitors a year and +11.000 hotel facilities, the coastlines along the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf remain highly attractive to tourists. This is why tourism development is high on the agenda of the GCC countries. We have a strong understanding of coastal development and the opportunities it offers. Satellite-derived information can be of immense value to sustainable spatial planning and urban development. In particular, details on bathymetry, seafloor properties and water quality allow for data-driven decision making.

Our Success Stories

01

DREDGING IN THE MALDIVES

Protecting Coral Reef Habitats

Keeping free navigable channels or reclaiming land requires dredging and the deposition of sand. Protecting nearby coral reefs is more than challenging. By continuous dredge monitoring we enabled the company Van Oord to better manage their dredging operations. For this purpose we have used Sentinel-2-imagery to create hydrographic charts of the sea depth and seafloor classification maps. By using EO map’s services, Van Oord benefits from reduced costs while better knowledge of the seabed controls damages to the environment.

Dredging activities under control

KEEPING NAVIGATION CHANNELS FREE

The Maldives comprise over 1000 islands sitting on either coral structures or sandbars. Offshore, there are many further reefs sitting just under the surface. The low-lying islands are very vulnerable to damage from rising sea-levels and increases in the frequency of storms. Separated by navigable channels, the atolls are subject to change as currents erode or deposit sand. There is a constant need for either keeping channels free or the depositing of sand. For coastal protection often sand is obtained by dredging the sea-floor. Hence, up to date maps of the sea-floor are valued to help know where the sand can be found and extracted with good operational efficiency, whilst avoiding the destruction of coral reefs or disturbing important sea vegetation. The maps also help to navigate the ships with the knowledge of where they can move safely.

Shell Qatar

For this location coverage we estimated to have made a cost saving of approximately one million dollar compared to a traditionally executed bathymetry and / or topographic survey.

Water Quality from Space

Imagery in Layers: The images below show the coastline of Dubai, based on high-resolution satellite imagery of Planet Labs. Starting with a true colour satellite image on the very left, EOMAP analytics further show turbidity and Chlorophyll-a concentration around the projects “The Palm” and “The World”. The last image on the right is revealing harmful algae blooms (HAB). The so-called HAB indicator serves as an alert for potentially critical algae developments and is part of the online solution eoApp Water Quality.
