Biodiversity & Ecosystem Management

Biodiversity & Ecosystem Management

Aquatic biodiversity and ecosystems are under pressure from habitat loss, climate change, pollution, overexploitation and competing demands for marine, coastal and inland resources. New biodiversity commitments are also increasing expectations on governments and businesses to understand their impacts, manage risks and demonstrate measurable progress. We help clients develop evidence-based approaches to protect, restore and sustainably manage aquatic ecosystems. Our work considers how biodiversity objectives interact with livelihoods, food production, economic development and resource use, supporting solutions that are ecologically meaningful and practical to implement.

How we can help:

  • Ecosystem and habitat assessment
  • Ecosystem-based management
  • Biodiversity policy and strategy
  • Marine protected areas and other area-based measures
  • Conservation and restoration planning
  • Assessment of pressures and impacts
  • Biodiversity monitoring and indicators
  • Technical measures to reduce fisheries and aquaculture interactions/impacts
  • Ecological risk and impact assessment
  • Stakeholder engagement
