The waterfront of rivers, ports, and estuaries are often environmentally sensitive areas that provide a vital link between terrestrial and aquatic environments and that fulfill many functions of value to fish, wildlife, and people. Businesses that operate in these environments are in a unique position of public trust as stewards of these scarce, even disappearing, resources, and face internal and external pressures to make sure their environmental stewardship programs are meaningful and successful.

The ARCADIS Waterfront and Sediments Group helps clients manage this important role. Our expertise in wetland assessment has developed concurrently with advances we've made in managing contaminated sediments and generating beneficial uses for cleaner sediments. Today, ARCADIS has wetland capabilities that range from on-the-ground boundary delineation and characterization to the development of plans and designs for wetlands mitigation, enhancement, and creation. In addition, we field a group of hydrologists, geologists, engineers, and biologists capable of advising you on other issues of critical importance to your environmental program, including natural resource damages, endangered species, and resource restoration and replacement.

The ARCADIS Habitat Restoration team integrates with our Port Planning, Channel Design, and Remedial Design teams to offer our clients integrated strategies to the challenges found in rivers and coastal environments.
