Ports and Harbors Development Support

Benthic, fisheries, marine acoustics, and marine archaeology services support ports and harbors development by assessing environmental impacts, ensuring compliance with regulations, mitigating effects on habitats and species, preserving cultural resources, and managing dredged material.

Our services support planning and permitting of port improvements by providing critical environmental assessments, impact analyses, and regulatory compliance. This ensures sustainable development, minimizes ecological disruptions, supports accurate risk management, and facilitates smoother approval processes for infrastructure projects.

Our dredged material management, beneficial use, nature-based design, and biodiversity support services enhance port development by optimizing material reuse, creating sustainable habitats, integrating ecosystem functions, and ensuring environmental compliance. These practices promote resilience, efficiency, and ecological balance in port infrastructure projects

Key Components in our Ports and Harbors Offerings

Dredged Material Management
Our dredged material management services optimize resources, reduce costs, and ensure sustainable port development.
Contaminated Sediment Characterization
Characterizing contaminated sediments is often a crucial step to ensure regulatory compliance and safety associated with the dredging in port development projects.
Eel Grass and other Submerged Aquatic Vegetation
Eelgrass affects port development due to habitat protection regulations and potential construction conflicts.
Nature-Based Design
Nature-based design enhances port development by integrating ecosystems, promoting sustainability, and reducing impacts.
Beneficial Use
Beneficial use of dredged material supports sustainable port development and minimizes environmental impact.
