What we do

We specialize in fisheries biology and offer a comprehensive suite of services to assist clients that conduct projects in and around aquatic habitats. From planning, to permitting, to monitoring, we can assist with projects of any size.

We prioritize communication early in the process to ensure that objectives are clearly defined and that clients have a detailed understanding of our approach. A strong commitment to the collection of sound data forms the basis of our field programs and we maintain a comprehensive inventory of equipment while continuously exploring new ways to leverage technology. We employ up-to-date analytical techniques and maintain a thorough understanding of current research in the field of fisheries science. Our team consists of qualified biologists that are dedicated to their craft and have the confidence and experience to develop unique solutions on a project-specific basis.

Environmental legislation pertaining to fish and fish habitat in Canada continues to evolve as regulators look to modernize their processes. We have extensive experience navigating these regulatory regimes and we communicate regularly with personnel from provincial and federal agencies to ensure that we have a current understanding of their interpretation of pertinent laws, regulations, and codes of practices.
