Coastal and Aquatic Systems Ltd provides consultancy services in marine and freshwater ecology to regional councils, the Department of Conservation, the private sector and multi-stake-holder groups.

Knowledge and understanding of the structure of ecosystems, the organisms within these systems and the interplay between them and their habitat (physical and biological), is vital for the assessment of any coastal use and development. We have particular expertise in quantifying physical processes and impacts and measuring their subsequent effect(s) on biological ecosystems.

CAS can tailor a package that suits your projects requirements:

•  Qualitative and desk-top studies

•  Audits and reviewing

•  Long-term monitorings

•  Remote video surveys

•  Quantitative surveys

Generally, a combination of techniques are used to achieve the desired outcome.
