Managing ecology and the natural environment through practical assessments and advice
Morphum Environmental is guided by the philosophy of ecosystem-based management embracing the relationship between people and our natural environment. We view our natural environment through a wide lens that includes ecological, mātauranga māori, social, recreational, amenity and economic values.
We understand that our terrestrial, freshwater and coastal environments are intrinsically connected, so we strive to be both interpreters and caretakers of our natural environment. There are always opportunities to minimise the ecological impacts associated with proposed activities and in many cases to achieve a positive outcome for the environment.
Morphum’s team of environmental scientists have a deep understanding and experience of ecology and environmental regulations. We’ll work with you to navigate the regulatory process and ensure any ecological impacts are avoided, mitigated or offset.
Environmental engineering solutions, backed by science.
Our process integrates science and environmental engineering, with multi-disciplinary teams to provide you with balanced technical advice and interpretation to meet your needs. We’ll deliver solutions that are practical, implementable, ecologically sensitive and environmentally sustainable.
To ensure you meet your environmental regulatory requirements as efficiently as possible, our environmental scientists work with our in-house ecological experts, environmental engineers and project managers in the early stages of a project to identify any environmental constraints and opportunities. This ensures that any foreseeable issues are addressed from the outset to avoid extra time, design or implementation costs.
Our teams use Geographic Information System (GIS) data mapping to communicate the science effectively, interactively in a way that is easily understood by you, project teams and regulatory authorities.
Our one-team, one-goal approach means that we understand the ecological values, risks and impacts and can work with you to ensure a successful outcome for your project and the environment.
We can help you with the following:
Terrestrial, freshwater, wetland and coastal ecological impact assessments
Stormwater and wastewater effects assessments
Contaminated land investigations
Water quality monitoring and results reporting
Supporting information for resource consents
Stream Ecological Valuations (SEV)
Macroinvertebrate sampling and results reporting
Advice on policy development and interpretation
Peer reviews, consenting and compliance
Native wildlife (birds, bats, lizards and freshwater fish) searches, salvages, relocations and management plans.
