IMPORTANT UPDATE - JULY 2023 

Who would like to host the next Shallow Survey Conference?

NIWA is currently unable to host the Shallow Survey conference, originally planned for 2021.New Zealand and the nearshore industry has been affected by the global events over the last three years. Unfortunately, we and our partners are no longer in a position to provide the support that is necessary to host and deliver a Shallow Survey conference in the near future. However, we see opportunities to host this conference in New Zealand in 3-4 years' time. In the interim, we invite other parties to consider hosting this important event.

Email shallowsurvey@confer.co.nz 

I would like to thank our partners LINZ, AHS, and GNS for their support of this project.

We recognise Host Sponsors LINZ, NIWA, GNS Science and the Australasian Hydrographic Society for their significant hosting efforts. We extend our thanks to all our sponsors and we give special thanks to our Event Partners iXblue, Kongsberg & Teledyne Marine.

The New Zealand committee will look to review the hosting of this event next year in consultation with our sponsors around June 2021. We wish everyone good health and look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful country of Aotearoa New Zealand sometime in the future.

ABOUT SHALLOW SURVEY CONFERENCES

These conferences, held every two to three years, focus on the topics associated with surveying in shallow waters, and are recognised world-wide by experts in their chosen field of research and work as an important forum for presenting new scientific and technological advancements in this area. 

As a component of the conference, survey challenges are set with the aim of targeting specific research questions and/or areas of interest.
