At Earth Systems Management, LLC, we created a detailed bathymetric map of Burton’s Bay to support the seagrass restoration efforts led by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). Using our custom-built autonomous HydroDrone, we conducted a series of surveys to collect high-resolution depth and terrain data. After processing this data, we delivered it to VIMS, which later published it on William & Mary’s ScholarWorks for public access. This project demonstrates our commitment to marine science and environmental restoration, as well as our dedication to fostering innovation among young adults on the Eastern Shore.
