Science
Our science services offer comprehensive, science-backed solutions to help clients understand, protect, and restore Aotearoa’s diverse aquatic ecosystems. Through rigorous ecological investigations, we assess key factors like water quality, habitat health, and biodiversity across freshwater, estuarine, and coastal environments. Outcomes of these investigations support everything from resource consent applications to baseline environmental monitoring. Our services include resource consent support, environmental monitoring, and targeted catchment management planning – providing clients with clear, actionable insights that inform sustainable decision-making.
From tailored ecological restoration and erosion control to precise wetland delineation and fish passage management, our expertise ensures that projects align with environmental best practices and regulatory requirements. Our experienced in-house laboratory and field teams handle everything from invertebrate processing to fish relocations, maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and ecological integrity. With a focus on collaboration, regulatory compliance, and practical, science-based solutions, we stand as a trusted partner in preserving and enhancing the natural landscapes that shape Aotearoa.
