October 2011
Coastal and Ocean Resources Inc. has been awarded two contracts by Baffinland Iron Mines to carry out full three-dimensional oceanographic numerical modelling and to continue with other coastal environmental studies in the Steensby Inlet area of Baffin Island near the proposed port development for the Mary River mine project.
September 2011
The US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) has recently awarded a contract to Nuka Research and Planning Group, LLC of Seldovia, Alaska, Coastal and Ocean Resources Inc. and Archipelago Marine Research Ltd. to carry out coastal habitat mapping using the ShoreZone protocol on the North Slope of Alaska. Approximately 4,500 km of coastline will be mapped between Point Hope on the Chukchi Sea and the Canadian border along the Beaufort Sea coast. The work will include interpretation of geology and biology from coastal video imagery, and groundtruth examination at many reference sites along the Chukchi and Beaufort Sea coasts.
June 2011
A CORI crew completed an aerial video imaging survey of the entire Oregon coastline, including estuaries. Weather was excellent and the crew was fascinated by the sand dunes and long beaches.
May 2011
CORI crews ventured to the Alaska Peninsula, a remote and challenging new area for ShoreZone in Alaska, and completed two aerial video surveys from bases in Sand Point and Cold Bay. As well as video imagery, nearly 30,000 still photos were collected. The imagery reveals a stunning volcanic landscape with a rugged shoreline ("boulders the size of buses", said one crew member) shaped by the harsh North Pacific and Bering Sea.
