Portent Tide Aerial Imaging company officially started in 2022. Our background is in environmental science. We provide high resolution aerial data collection for land resource management professionals and research scientists.
The initial work took place in Costa Rica, 2021. We worked in and visited several research facilities and reserves to meet biological and behavioral researchers to discuss how they go about their profession and how they make key decisions as it relates to their field of study. These interviews provided an important insight in building Portent Tide Aerial Imaging.
