How We Can Help

In addition to traditional data collection methods, our scientists use a combination of traditional and sophisticated Geographic Information System (GIS) compatible data collection technologies to deliver insightful and spatially accurate aquatic habitat information to our clients. This approach, and  our knowledge and understanding of the biology and ecology of aquatic flora and fauna, from plankton to vegetation, benthic invertebrates, fish, amphibians, and birds, ensures that our clients receive accurate habitat classifications upon which successful habitat management plans and monitoring programs can be developed and implemented.
