We spend all this time mapping every rock and reef so ships can sail safely, but you can’t map out human greed or negligence. When one of these 'ghost ships' goes down or blows up, it’s the local ecosystems and the honest mariners who pay the price. The ocean isn't a rug you can just sweep your problems under.

Is it time we treat 'maritime transparency' as a life-safety issue instead of just a political one?

Just saw the news about the EU launching 'OceanEye' and Barcelona building a 'Digital Twin' of their port using AI drones. Part of me (the guy who loves a clean dataset) is fascinated. Imagine being able to see every blade of seagrass and calculate blue carbon in real-time without ever dropping a tethered camera.

Anyone else following these 'Ocean Digital Twins'? Or are you still partial to the view from the deck?

This McDonald's is my old stomping ground. Whenever the store manager sees me, she always asks me to do surveys as if it's my job. I don't mind, though—she rewards me with some tasty treats! #McDonalds #CustomerExperience #TastyTreats #SurveyLife

Wrestling with GNSS RTK radios; compatability and transmission formats? This might get simpler with the recent introduction of a new internatiaonal standard. Thank you Joe Sass for the work you and the RTCM Committee have done on this, and the great article.

It recently test drove a flexible and precise GNSS field mapping system. It has three GNSS receiver/antenna options, field mapping software, 3rd party mapping software support, survey-grade precision, and some features that (as far as I can tell) are unique to the industry. https://gogeomatics.ca/zeno-test-rrive/ #gnss #AssetMapping #GPS #GIS #surveylife
