Fisheries Act regulations. We strive to be proactive in our approach to monitoring to ensure no shut downs are
necessary we see problems before they develop.
Environmental assessments are performed for litigation, water lease use impacts and pre and post construction
studies. Benthic (sea bottom) and bathymetric profiling is conducted. PTI utilizes differential Global Positioning
Systems (dGPS) with digital depth sounders and underwater digital video and photography in order to accurately
report conditions within survey areas
