High resolution spatial tools for mapping habitats, pressures, and ecosystem change.
IECS applies advanced spatial technologies to support marine planning, ecological assessment, and habitat modelling. Building on decades of GIS and numerical ecology expertise, our spatial work integrates data from multibeam bathymetry, side‑scan sonar, drones, and satellites.
Core Expertise
- GIS and marine spatial planning
- Predictive habitat modelling (EFH, benthic communities, species distributions)
- Remote sensing and survey technologies
- Footprint mapping for activities, pressures, and effects
- Spatial coherence and transboundary analysis
Our spatial modelling supports projects mapping essential habitats and ecosystem services in the marine environment, providing the spatial evidence base for sustainable marine management.
