Director of Integrated Sediment Management
Government
We support national, state, Tribal, and local governments with expertise in ecosystem ecology, fisheries, marine acoustics, and archaeology. Our services include designating and monitoring dredged material sites, developing educational websites focused on marine acoustics, and conducting environmental studies that inform government land managers in making informed land use decisions.
Overview
We provide subject matter expertise, environmental services, research, and policy support to governmental agencies including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Navy, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the New York Energy Research and Development Agency, and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Commission.
Effective Environmental Management for Government Agencies
We support government agencies to enhance environmental management, sustainability, and resilience. Our experienced team develops tailored strategies and programs to support effective natural resource management and protection, ensuring solutions meet the unique needs of public administration.

US EPA Dredged Material Monitoring
Our data scientists worked closely with representatives from the U.S. the Environmental Protection Agency to develop an intuitive database for EPA to utilize in tracking dredging projects and beneficial use applications. This database combined two previously separate work streams to improve management of dredged sediment and coastal resources.

Monitoring of the Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS) (2019 – 2024)
Our team conducted an analytical comparison of bathymetric survey data to assess the status of remediation activites at the Historical Area Remediation Site (HARS) in the New York Bight. GIS analysts normalized an appropriately 20-year record of bathymetric data to a 2017 surface and the performed comparisons for 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10-year periods. Depth change models were developed and analyzed to estimate volumetric coverage of managed units within the HARS. These spatial analyses supported site management and monitoring decisions. These anlayses were augmented by an interactive web-visualization with a slider tool that was developed to allow users to compare datasets themselves.
