Ecology Services

The AMBS Ecology division specialises in the assessment and management of the natural environment, including specialist knowledge in the fields of flora, fauna and their habitats. We provide advice on survey design and conduct extensive field surveys to suit the purpose of each individual project.

Aquatic Ecology Services

The ecological health of our waterways has become a key issue in both land and water management. AMBS ecologists have extensive experience in working within marine, estuarine and freshwater environments. The techniques we use include a combination of electrofishing, baits and traps, and netting (including Seine, Japanese Seine, Fyke and Gill).
