Surveying Artificial Reefs with a SeaBat T51

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Artificial reefs make a great playground to produce stunning data when passed over with a SeaBat T51 at 800 kHz. But aside from that they have a more meaningful purpose.
Artificial reefs allow for sea life to recover from a decline in habitat. These reefs act as a recruitment, growth and resting zone for fish species and other sea life.
Artificial reef structures come in all shapes and sizes; giving species places to hide, allowing to live off the seafloor from predatory species, or providing a substrate to grow on.

Reefs captured with the RESON SeaBat T51-R Multibeam echosounderAll the images of the artificial reefs are captured with a SeaBat T51 at 800 kHz. For your survey this gives you:
Improved decision making: The frequency flexible 700-800kHz sonar array for up to seven times water depth efficiency - this gives you an extreme resolution that captures all the details you need.
350-430kHz sonar operation for traditional and extended range survey requirements maximising your sonar usage
Hands-free: This model comes with Autonomous​ Sonar Controls - allowing the operator to focus on other tasks than controlling the sonar
