Oceanica Consulting Pty Ltd (Oceanica) is a Western Australian firm that provides specialist consultancy services on marine, coastal and estuarine environmental issues.

The Oceanica team takes pride in its reputation for high quality independent environmental advice and has completed hundreds of projects for corporate and government clients.  Oceanica has extensive experience in environmental impact assessment and documentation required for regulatory approval.  Our staff has managed and implemented numerous marine environmental sampling and monitoring programmes and regularly liaise with stakeholders and regulatory authorities to ensure issues are addressed effectively.

At Oceanica we appreciate that good environmental advice requires good data that are appropriately analysed.  The collection and analysis of environmental samples and measurements is often also the greatest expense associated with a marine environmental project. The value of the data only increases with time hence we believe clients have a right to expect that any data collected in the course of a project will be properly verified and reviewed, and most importantly, accessible in the future. Oceanica deliver on this commitment via the clear and consistent application of data quality management principles.

 

Oceanica provides high quality, impartial advice and services to support appropriate and effective management of marine, estuarine and coastal environments.  We have gained extensive experience in the management and implementation of numerous multidisciplinary marine, coastal and estuarine studies throughout Western Australia.

Oceanica provides a wide range of services including environmental impact assessments, audits, review and advice, stakeholder consultation and research and teaching.

All of Oceanica's professional personnel have high-level academic qualifications and wide experience in marine, coastal and estuarine environments.  Oceanica takes pride in providing advice at all levels, from strategy and policy to experimental design, data handling and management. 

The collection of environmental samples and measurements is also a key aspect of Oceanica’s services, and is undertaken with rigorous attention to health and safety.  Oceanica’s fieldwork is supported by our  comprehensive suite of field equipment and all our diving is undertaken to a minimum of Australian Standard AS/NZS 2299.1, with additional capacity to provide commercially trained supervisors and divers trained to Australian Standard AS/NZS 2299.2
