Sea Surveyor conducted a complex 1-year oceanographic investigation along the southeast coast of Thailand. Our oceanographic data was used to design an ocean intake/outfall structure for a Japanese-owned aquaculture farm. Our survey characterized the oceanographic conditions immediately before and after the monsoon season. The data collected during the oceanographic investigation included:         
·	Plume dye studies and drogue tracking along 70 km of the Thailand coastline                                                                          
·	Steady-state dye studies using existing ocean outfall structures.                                                          
·	1-year current monitoring using InterOcean S-4 current meters.
·	1-year tide monitoring to establish mean sea level.
·	Beach profiles along 24 transects spaced at 1-mile intervals along shore,  
·	Sediment sampling near location of proposed intake structures.
