MHK insists no marine life will be damaged in the process
A 12-month project is underway to see how the Island's marine and coastal environment can help fight climate change.
Government - along with the National Oceanographic Centre and Swansea University - wants to see how much 'blue carbon' is being generated off Manx shores.
Blue carbon can be found stored in the seabed, underwater plants and animals.
