Passion for what we do
Our Journey
Alterseas was born in 2008 as one of the first marine and coastal dedicated consulting companies in Mexico, and it was the first company in the country to offer Marine Mammal Observer (MMO) services for the offshore industry… much ahead of its times.
Our services adapted constantly to the needs of our clients and suffered several modifications through time. In 2015, we implemented the first Protected Species Observer training in Mexico, and with the publication in 2017 of a new regulation requiring PSOs in marine geophysical activities and the implementation of mitigation guidelines in Mexico, we modified our training program to allow our PSOs to better help our clients to comply with these new guidelines.
Year 2020 passed to the world history as an infamous year due to the impact of COVID-19 and most companies had to adapt to a new way to work. Alterseas was no exception. We moved our PSO training to an online platform and implemented a practice at sea to complement the learning, taking the leadership of PSO training in Mexico.
We additionally modified our PSO selection criteria to ensure only highly trained and qualified staff to be involved in our customers’ projects, establishing a high quality standard by providing our clients with experienced, professional and reliable services.
