Habitat Creation and Restoration

Habitat creation and restoration efforts can enhance valuable marine ecosystems that are rich in biodiversity and marine resources. Our team can monitor newly created habitats to provide insights into habitat health, species distribution, and environmental impacts. This data helps manage and protect diverse marine life, ensuring the stability and resilience of ecosystems while guiding conservation and restoration efforts.

By assessing newly created and restored habitat, we can help teams address non-price, net-positive, climate resilience, or beneficially use criteria.

Our team can help inform guide projects that aim to create and restore habitat using habitat mapping, species distribution modelling, and desktop analysis. This guidance can inform project decisions including material and site selection.

Our team can help assess projects that create and restore habitat using targeted monitoring of benthic and fisheries resources, to ensure compliance with regulations, engage stakeholders, recommend mitigation measures, all aimed at preserving and enhancing biodiversity.
