We provide post-pollution monitoring to assess the extent and severity of any pollution event and investigate incidents of fish mortality. Where an issue is suspected we are able to deploy data loggers (such as turbidity, light temperature etc) to monitor on-going situations. We are also able to provide on-site monitoring of water quality elements to help determine causes of pollution and fish mortality.
We provide solutions to environmental and ecological issues, ensure compliance and protect the environment. We work hard to enable you to meet your legislative responsibilities and when we are involved at project onset can provide advice to reduce risk and prevent pollution events occurring. Post event we work with our clients in order to mitigate and even add value by enhancing the environment within the same project/incident.
Diffuse pollution causes longer term effects, from smothering spawning gravels to increasing turbidity and preventing macrophyte growth. De-oxygenation can also occur during these events. All are harmful to aquatic life and in particular fish. Identifying point sources is an integral component of our work. We undertake water quality monitoring through to pre emptive translocation of fish to fish rescues during or post event.
In confined watercourses or still-waters, where pollution has depleted oxygen levels and fish are in distress, we are able to deploy aeration, or undertake fish removal or translocation should the site require longer term remediation measures.
