I have been very pleased with each of the projects I have worked on with ESS. From training volunteers in the field to lab work to filing Notices of Intent for lake management projects, all have gone perfectly. The deliverables have always been very thorough, professional, and well-crafted, leaving little room for comment. I look forward to our next project.

Natural Resource Damage Assessments & Mitigation

f-natresESS has been involved in all phases of natural resource damage assessments from pre-assessment screening to development of an assessment plan that quantifies damages through implementation of natural resource restoration. Our staff have been involved in natural resource damage assessments under both Department of the Interior and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration regulations and have worked directly with Natural Resource trustee councils.

Natural Resource Damage Assessments

ESS staff have conducted numerous threatened and endangered species surveys and habitat assessments of aquatic, marine, and terrestrial fauna and flora. These efforts have involved extensive field programs and coordination with the US Fish & Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Services, and state fish and wildlife Natural Heritage Programs.

ESS scientists and engineers work in partnership with federal and state agencies, municipalities, and non-profit associations to plan and implement habitat restoration. Our experience in habitat restoration ranges from baseline site characterization and modeling to design development, regulatory permitting, and monitoring.
