About Seas Geosciences
Grounded in heritage. Focused on the work ahead.
Seas Geosciences is part of Woocheen, Sealaska’s ocean health business platform, and that heritage shows up in how we work every day – from the way we manage offshore risk, to the care we take to protect the oceans, coastlines and communities connected to every project. Sealaska is an Alaska Native corporation founded to strengthen the people, culture, and homelands of its Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian shareholders.
Through Woocheen, Sealaska brings together complementary businesses focused on ocean health, environmental stewardship, and sustainable resource management. As the geosciences division of Woocheen, Seas Geosciences provides specialist marine geotechnical and geophysical services that support the responsible development of offshore infrastructure and advance ocean science.
Leadership built in the field.
