Company Profile

Since its inception in 1991, Coast River has established a reputation for excellence as an environmental consulting firm.  Our company is recognized for its capabilities and expertise in environmental baseline inventories, fish and aquatic habitat biology, impact assessment, habitat restoration, environmental monitoring, project supervision, and watershed management programs.

Coast River staff are knowledgeable of the environmental regulatory requirements for various levels of government agencies.  We strive to develop and maintain positive working relationships with environmental agencies such as Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the BC Ministry of Environment.

Coast River has the necessary office resources, field equipment, and relations with associated firms to provide comprehensive, yet economical support for projects throughout British Columbia.

Corporate Mission Statement

Effective environmental decision-making requires knowledge of biophysical, social, economic, cultural, and natural resource factors and careful consideration of the linkages between them.  This approach maximizes a project's potential for success and its ultimate sustainability.  Furthermore, it ensures that engineering, environmental and social issues are considered from a balanced perspective.

For this reason, we often work in association with other companies or individuals who can offer specialized services in other disciplines, such as wildlife, ecology, and geoscience.  In this manner, Coast River can provide a considerable depth of professional expertise in a wide variety of specialized fields while still maintaining the personalized service and cost efficiency of a small company.

The advantage of our approach is that we retain the flexibility to handle small-  to large- scale projects for long- or short-term assignments.  Coast River has a great deal of experience in providing technical skills, as well as offering comprehensive, multidisciplinary services for various stages of project development - from conceptual and feasibility studies to final engineering and operational phases.
