Our Services

We work collaboratively with our clients to develop and implement fish and aquatic studies that support proposed projects including:

• Aquatic baseline studies
• Aquatic Environmental Impact Assessments
• Fish and Fish Habitat Studies
• Environmental contamination studies
• Habitat evaluations

We work with our clients to develop and implement community-based environmental sampling and analysis plans that address issues and concerns of community members and citizens.

This includes:

• Developing and implementing community-led Aquatic Monitoring Programs (AMP’s)
• Water quality monitoring
• Sediment quality monitoring
• Benthic invertebrate community sampling
• Fish collection and analysis
• Technical reporting
• Environmental Effects Monitoring

We carry out fish and aquatic monitoring during construction activities to ensure projects are completed while maintaining protection of the aquatic environment.

This includes:

• Permitting support
• Water Quality Monitoring,
• Sediment and Erosion Control Measures Monitoring
• Fish Salvages 

We use GIS to produce effective maps for carrying out field work as well as for presenting to communities and clients to show locations of sampling programs and provide visual representation of potential concerns in the aquatic environment. We take pride in our mapping skills and capabilities and use them to incorporate mapping into technical reporting and community presentations.

Our staff are experienced in carrying out hydrological studies including monitoring water levels, surveying, measuring fluctuations in discharge and flood risk monitoring.

We develop environmental training programs adapted to our clients' concerns in their home waters. This includes training on scientific sampling techniques and protocols including water, sediment, benthic invertebrate and fish sampling as well as construction monitoring. 

We provide technical expertise during the environmental approvals process of development projects by reviewing Impact Assessment reports, providing advice and recommendations to protect fish and fish habitat. We participate on Environmental Monitoring Committees and Scientific Panels working alongside indigenous communities, proponents and regulators to address community concerns and support the assessment and protection of the aquatic environment. 

We work closely with our clients to engage all those involved in a project, which includes presenting important information of projects and studies to communities. We understand the importance of community engagement throughout the life of a project and work hard to ensure everyone is involved in the education and sharing of knowledge.
