We work with wetlands, providing guidance and delineation of protected areas. We are experts on the Gopher Tortoise, helping people to coexist with these important animals and stay within the law. We relocate them if necessary.
Our services extend to inland and coastal waters, where we survey species, and provide permitting assistance where over water structures are planned (e.g. boat houses, piers, and docs).
