Coastal Ecology and Management

ENSR provides independent, comprehensive, and professional consultancy services to address coastal environmental issues. This includes ecological assessments and management advice for a range of coastal environments including coastal rivers and their catchments, estuaries, lakes, and marine environments. Our expertise and innovation in coastal ecology and water quality management has received various awards, including the Urban Development Industry of Australia (UDIA) awards for environmental excellence for water quality management and protection and restoration of shorebird habitat for a coastal land development Queensland.

ENSR has specialised expertise and tools to assess and predict the links between land-based activities and waterway health. ENSR can provide expert advice on range of issues from the consequences of nutrients and other contaminants, water extraction, and undertake biodiversity and habitat surveys and impact assessments. Our advice is based on a sound understanding and working knowledge of the principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) and the Commonwealth, State and Local government legislation and regulations that govern approval for planning, resource use and development activities.

ENSR offers a highly qualified team who are able to bridge the gap between science, planning and management to ensure decisions are informed by the best available scientific knowledge and are defensible. ENSR is able to offer an integrated approach to coastal environmental issues around Australia with experts in most major cities.

With strong links to academic institutions and government agencies, ENSR is able to draw on expertise from within and outside the firm to solve complex problems including coastal water quality modelling and erosion modelling, as well as management of land based activities for improved water quality.

The ENSR team is committed to developing pragmatic and workable solutions that achieve the excellent environmental outcomes in the context of existing activities and development, social and economic drivers. This is achieved through a highly qualified team with a thorough understanding of coastal ecological processes, and coastal planning procedures and legislation, which is committed to finding innovative solutions for improved environmental outcomes on the coast.
