Coastal & Aquaculture Mapping: Depth, Water Quality, Habitat 

BottomBee turns multi-source satellite imagery into a clear picture of a coastal site. How deep it is, how clean the water is, and what habitat is on the bottom. It is the fast, affordable first look that tells you whether a site is worth a full boat survey, supports a permit application, or needs ongoing watching. What you pay for is not the imagery; it is the work that turns raw imagery into a decision. Each layer is calibrated against independent depth reference points, processed through our own pipeline, and quality-controlled by an analyst before it reaches you. That is the difference between a pile of satellite tiles and a report you can hand to a regulator or a lender. It is the same engine that first scouted our own oyster lease near St. Augustine, and the satellite archives it draws on cover coastlines across the US, Canada, and Europe, so we run it the same way whether your site is in Florida, British Columbia, or the Adriatic.

BottomBee is built for the people responsible for a stretch of coast or a body of water:

Oyster farmers and shellfish leaseholders

Marina operators and waterfront property owners

Coastal Community Development Districts

Environmental consultants preparing permit submissions

You send us the coordinates of your site and the dates or season you're interested in. 

Our analyst acquires the satellite imagery, processes each layer, and runs quality control. 

You receive a finished PDF report or georeferenced GeoTIFF files within the turnaround time for your tier.
