Ace Aquatec: FaunaGuard

Ace Aquatec is a technology company with a difference. We use science and innovation to drive sustainable, welfare-focused aquaculture practices. By partnering with world leading experts in different scientific fields, we apply breakthrough technological developments to aquaculture and marine industries. 

Marine construction activities can cause deafness and other serious physiological harm to local marine life if appropriate precautions are not taken. 

Ace Aquatec's innovative FaunaGuard system uses academically validated sound patterns with award-winning acoustic transducer technology to create temporary exclusion zones for marine life around project sites.

CrossWind offshore wind project uses FaunaGuard as a "first line of defence" to protect marine fauna. Underwater noise produced by the hydraulic impact hammer that is used to install the monopile foundations could have a significant impact on the hearing of marine mammals in the area.

FaunaGuard has proven itself during use on several offshore wind projects, including Arkona in the Baltic Sea, where avoiding disruption to marine life was a crucial factor in the tender award and execution of the project. Read the case study here.
