Centuries of land-clearing, agriculture, industry, and urban activities have degraded or impaired many of our waterways and water bodies. For more than a decade, Princeton Hydro has worked at the leading edge of efforts to characterize biologic resources, improve water quality, and enhance aquatic and marine habitats.

Our fisheries biologists and aquatic ecologists are experienced at on-water data collection methods, taxa identification, biological index analyses, and habitat assessments. This is most recently evidenced by our lead in the establishment of mitigation bank sites in marine settings that will serve to off-set natural resource damages and permitting requirements. Our biological investigatory capabilities span:

• Fish, shellfish, and benthic invertebrate community characterization
• Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) surveys
• Fish removal
• Game fish stocking
• Design and installation of artificial habitat
• Zooplankton and phytoplankton sampling and identification
• Biomanipulation
• Aquatic resource mitigation design, permitting, and oversight
