Estuarine systems are by far the most challenging to assess and manage, and few consultancies can claim to truly have their heads around the issues. Diverse, complex ecology and dynamic, constantly changing hydrodynamics and water quality combine to make understanding these systems the domain of technical specialists.

 

Aquateco has delivered a number of environmental management projects around tidal, saline stratified and estuarine systems. In fact, we revel in the challenge and it’s an area in which we excel.

 

Our people have led or been senior contributors to the following projects:

 

• Estuarine Biomonitoring Statistical Design and Implementation:  Northern Tasmania.

• Expert Witness Services: Bell’s Parade Tidal Weir Replacement.

• Meromictic Restoration Project: Lake Fidler, SW Tasmania.

• Jabiru Island Benthic and Seagrass Communities: SE Queensland.

• Loders Creek Road Bridge Upgrade: SE Queensland.

• Benthic Communities in the Vicinity of a Road Bridge Upgrade: Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

• Habitat, Hydrographic and Bioaccumulation Studies: Northern NSW estuary.

 

Predicting and managing water quality, stability and ecological diversity is one of Aquateco’s niche services.
