Ports & Harbours
Skilled Aquatic Environmental Consultants
At Gavia Environmental, we are experienced aquatic environmental consultants. We understand that water quality and marine environment protection can be key constraints for port and harbour development.
Our unique (link to about us) infusion of in-house expertise means we can develop innovative, holistic solutions for our clients requiring minimal long-term maintenance.
Unique Infusion of Ecological and Hydrological Consultancy
Our hydrological, ecological and ornithological consultants work synonymously on behalf of harbour developers and contractors.
Whilst monitoring providing rigorous marine ecology surveys (including: fish, marine habitat surveys, marine mammal and bird surveys), our ecologists liaise closely with our hydrologists - assessing and providing long-term solutions to water quality challenges, habitat and water resource management.
The result – a joined-up solution, avoiding unnecessary costs and project delays further down the line.
