Our Aquatic Services
Aquatic Ecology Surveys
Detailed biological surveys to assess aquatic flora and fauna, habitat condition, and ecosystem health, ensuring compliance with environmental legislation and best-practice monitoring standards.
Water Quality Monitoring
Regular and event-based water sampling and analysis to assess pollutant levels, identify environmental risks, and support management strategies for healthy waterways.
Habitat Mapping & Condition Assessment
Comprehensive mapping of aquatic habitats, including seagrass beds, mangroves, saltmarsh, and reef systems, to inform development planning and conservation efforts.
Impact Assessment & Mitigation Planning
Identification of potential impacts from dredging, reclamation or other activities associated with the construction of jetties, moorings, boat ramps and foreshore infrastructure, with practical mitigation measures to minimise harm to aquatic ecosystems in accordance with the Fisheries Management Act.
Macroinvertebrate Studies
