Biological Studies

Identify the Species at Risk to Understand and Mitigate Project Impacts

Site Characterization & Impact Assessment

Blue Heron offers a range of aquatic and terrestrial biological services, ranging from species-specific surveys to habitat assessments. We have extensive experience in species at risk (SAR) permitting, impact assessments, and mitigation recommendations. Blue Heron also offers expertise in fish relocation work.

 

Our industrial development work typically includes:

    • Desktop Studies for SAR and other sensitive natural heritage features
    • Aquatic and Terrestrial Biology Baseline Studies
    • Environmental Impact Studies
    • Natural Environment Studies
    • Revegetation Monitoring
    • Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM)
