When potential effects on protected areas cannot be ruled out, we undertake an Appropriate Assessment. In some cases, permits may be required for the project. Guidelines and monitoring programmes also exist under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). These have been drawn up to protect, conserve and restore the marine and freshwater environment
Our ecologists have specialist knowledge of wildlife laws and legislation. We can discuss and develop practical research, solutions and mitigating measures.
