Creation Schemes
We are experts in the sustainable rehabilitation
of lake and river systems in both urban
and rural settings. Freshwater environmental
management covers a broad range of disciplines
requiring a level of specialist knowledge
to be able to provide practical solutions
in often-complex situations. Aquatic ecology,
hydrogeology, engineering, fisheries science
and biochemistry, are just a few examples
of the many facets within the realms of
aquatic resource management drawn upon
by the team when delivering our project
work.
Our work within the aquatic environment
is heavily influenced by the conservation
and protection of species & habitats
under British and European legislation
and we are capable of implementing successful
mitigation schemes that serve to create,
restore and enhance aquatic environments
for protected species such as Great Crested
Newts, Otters, and Water Voles. In addition,
we also provide our clients with the specialist
service of freshwater fisheries surveying,
monitoring and assessment.
