Namibia has a coastline of 1,570 km stretching from the Orange River in
the south to the Cunene River in the North. It is one of Namibia’s most
important features as it supports the important fishing, tourism,
mining, and mariculture industries. Two ports, in Walvis Bay and
Lüderitz respectively, provide an important link for Namibia and
southern Africa with markets overseas. Anthropogenic impacts on the
ocean have the potential to significantly disturb this ecosystem and
caution should be practiced when developing ports or establishing mines
along the coast. Geo Pollution Technologies has extensive experience in
the following aspects related to the offshore environment:
-
Sea floor sediment sampling and analysis
-
Water sampling, analysis and monitoring
-
