We are very grateful for our PARTNERS:
- From 2006 to 2012, the NOAA National Ocean Service generously allocated
annual shiptime aboard the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster, allowing our students
to conduct multibeam studies.

- The NOAA Coastal Services Center in North Charleston, SC sponsored this shiptime.

- CARIS Inc. has created an Academic Partnership with the College of Charleston BEAMS Program. With their support and an annual contribution by
Highland Geo Solutions, we are able to train undergraduate students using
the HIPS 8.1 software for multibeam sonar processing.
- EIVA Marine Survey Solutions is an industry partner, offering training and licenses for their NaviPac and NaviScan multibeam sonar online (acquisition) software.
- QPS Hydrographic and Marine Software Solutions is also an industry partner that offers training and licenses
for QINSy data acquisition, navigation and processing
software package and Fledermaus 4D sonar processing software.
- Global Coast Survey is a small group of specialized surveyors and data processors who contract with the oil & gas industry. Owned by a BEAMS alum,
GCS donates training and hardware to the program.
