Restoration and enhancement of fish and wildlife habitat are key features of many of our projects.  Anchor QEA provides a full scope of habitat restoration and mitigation services for shorelines, wetlands, streams, lakes, estuaries, and rivers.  Our approach to restoration design begins with understanding the client's vision, conducting a thorough assessment of current conditions, and efficiently designing cost-effective projects that achieve restoration objectives.  Anchor QEA’s expertise covers fisheries and wetland biology; geomorphology; water quality; hydrology and hydraulics; coastal, geotechnical, and civil engineering; permitting; landscape architecture; and environmental planning.  We successfully integrate restoration elements as part of larger improvement projects, such as river and shoreline bank stabilization, transportation corridor projects, sediment and shoreline cleanup, and park projects.
