Environmental Compliance & Monitoring Services

At Dynamic Ocean Consulting Ltd., we provide professional environmental compliance and monitoring programs to ensure that marine and freshwater projects meet all regulatory and environmental protection requirements. Our field teams of Marine Biologists, Environmental Scientists, Regulatory Specialists, and Marine Equipment Technicians deliver precise, defensible data for environmental oversight in British Columbia, inland waterways, and Arctic marine regions.

Our personnel are trained and qualified to serve as Environmental Inspectors, Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) Technicians, and Marine Mammal Observers (MMOs). These roles form a critical part of maintaining compliance with Fisheries Act Authorizations, Environmental Assessment conditions, and Marine Construction Monitoring Plans, ensuring that your operations remain environmentally responsible from start to finish.

Comprehensive Environmental Oversight

Dynamic Ocean’s environmental compliance services encompass real-time and long-term monitoring to support all project phases — from pre-construction baselines through active construction and post-installation monitoring.

Our expertise includes:

• On-site Environmental Inspectors overseeing field operations to ensure adherence to permit conditions, mitigation measures, and environmental best practices.

• Marine Mammal Observation (MMO) Programs, conducted visually and acoustically, to identify and protect marine fauna during construction or operational activities.

• Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) using calibrated hydrophones to detect marine mammals and quantify underwater sound in compliance with regulatory thresholds.

• Water and sediment quality monitoring to assess potential impacts and verify environmental performance.

• Reporting and documentation prepared to satisfy both provincial and federal regulatory requirements.

Experienced Personnel and Advanced Monitoring Systems

Our field staff are highly experienced in operating in dynamic marine environments and remote northern regions.
We utilize a range of specialized equipment including:

• Hydrophones for acoustic data collection.

• GPS-integrated observation software and hardware for accurate spatial data recording.

• Data management systems ensuring traceable, QA/QC-compliant monitoring records.

All monitoring activities are conducted under strict concordence to all required regulations, as well as site-specific safety management plans. Our teams are trained for operations in all marine environments — maintaining safety and data quality under challenging field conditions.

Our Commitment to Environmental Stewardship

We approach every project with a commitment to safety, data integrity, and ecological protection.

Our Environmental Inspectors, MMOs, and PAM Technicians maintain open communication with contractors and project managers, ensuring proactive mitigation and compliance in real time.

All data collected are scientifically validated and fully documented for regulatory submission and long-term environmental management.

Monitoring in British Columbia, Inland Waters, and Arctic Regions

From coastal infrastructure in British Columbia, to hydroelectric and port projects in inland waterways, and industrial or research programs in Arctic marine settings, Dynamic Ocean provides adaptive monitoring solutions for diverse operational contexts.
We understand the environmental sensitivities unique to each region — from kelp and eelgrass habitats along the BC coast, to ice-influenced Arctic ecosystems — and tailor our methodologies to local species, conditions, and regulatory frameworks.
