O2 Environment

Marine Environmental Specialists

O2 ENVIRONMENT is a highly specialised marine environmental consulting business and founding company of O2 MARINE.

Whether it’s a baseline survey for an environmental approval or compliance monitoring for an existing operation, O2 ENVIRONMENT can undertake detailed marine environmental investigations even in the most challenging marine environments – under tight budgets and timeframes with no margin for error.

The O2 ENVIRONMENT team comprises marine scientists and ecologists who specialise in projects where specific risk to the marine environment has been identified and MUST be effectively managed to mitigate impacts.

O2 ENVIRONMENT understands that these risks pose a threat, not only to realisation of project objectives, but also to irreparable damage to the marine environment. The technical focus of our business allows us to hone methods, develop IP, understand legislation and build relationships with regulatory authorities that multi-discipline providers cannot. Our expertise is grounded in our identity as both mariners and marine scientists, prioritising practicality and sound judgement in every project we undertake.

We are trusted industry leaders in:
• Marine Environmental Impact Assessment and Monitoring
• Marine Environmental Compliance Monitoring
• Marine Environmental Management Planning and Regulatory Approvals
• Dredging Environmental Management
• Marine Fauna Protection and Management
