Environmental Monitoring

CR has designed and implemented environmental monitoring projects for marine, freshwater and terrestrial projects throughout the northeastern US, and often provides analytical and field support for projects managed by other consultants.

Monitoring of restored aquatic and wetland habitats is an integral aspect for most projects and CR’s experience ensures acquisition and analysis of the robust quantitative information required by our clients and regulatory agencies.

Regardless of the scope of a project and the relative potentials for chemical, physical or ecological impacts, CR has demonstrated capabilities for documenting baseline and post-implementation conditions and assessing changes associated with project activities.

In both aquatic and terrestrial environments, we utilize the environmental and biological expertise of staff, often complemented by our in-house remote sensing capabilities to address mission objectives.
