Fish and Wildlife
Hamer Environmental has an experienced team of wildlife and fisheries biologists and botanists with the innovation necessary to perform a variety of wildlife, fisheries and plant surveys, research, and conservation planning. Our experience includes designing empirical studies, habitat modeling, impact assessments and broad-scope habitat conservation plans. Our team members have been involved in a number of behavioral and population monitoring studies and inventories for a diversity of species, including seabirds, raptors, neotropical migrants, mollusks, amphibians, salmonids, and small mammals. We pride ourselves on our ability to undertake studies and inventories of most wildlife and fish species including amphibian/reptile and entomological surveys. Our services include the following:
- Species Inventories/Censusing/Population Monitoring
- Capture and Marking/Radio Telemetry
- Life History Studies
- Disturbance and Behavioral Studies
- Aerial, Ground-based, and Shipboard Survey Techniques
- Habitat Utilization Studies/Habitat Modeling
- Habitat Enhancement/Mitigation Studies
