Ecospan Environmental staff have over thirty years experience in the undertaking of ecological surveys. As well as the ability to complete surveys in freshwater and terrestrial environments, we also have particular expertise in estuarine and coastal inter tidal and sub-tidal surveys. Over the years we have worked in most of the major estuaries around the UK for a wide variety of clients from industry to regulators. To facilitate these operations, we have a large array of dedicated equipment including a four man hovercraft for use over intertidal mudflats and other inaccessible areas.
Ecospan Environmental can assist your business in all aspects of ecological surveys. This includes: the initial design (this is critical in ensuring that it meets its objectives), the fieldwork, subsequent laboratory analysis, data analysis/interpretation, reporting and liaison with the regulators where required. We can also advise on how to optimise future work to minimise costs whilst meeting statutory requirements and corporate responsibility obligations.
