At EDI, we have a wealth of technical knowledge and experience in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. But what about wetlands, those in-between areas that link water and land? Our experts take a practical approach to wetland assessment and can make major contributions to your project.
Examples of our experience with wetlands includes:
- Desktop and field wetland identification and delineation
