Lake Montauk is a very dynamic and constantly changing inlet. The entrance to Lake Montauk inlet, located on the Eastern tip of Long Island, is heavily travelled and constantly shoaling. The harbor is home to a large fleet of commercial fishing vessels and the United States Coast Guard. It is imperative it remain open and safe.

While the survey is fairly straight forward the weather is always an important factor in planning for data collection. A large shoal area on the Eastern side of the inlet almost always presents a challenge. To get the required data in this shoal area requires performing a hydrographic survey at high tide and a topographic survey at low tide.
All survey data is collected and processed using Hypack hydrographic survey software.

Once data is collected and processed volume calculations are always performed and a survey report prepared.
