We are scientists and experts assessing environmental and ecological impacts , biodiversity , and water quality of aquatic systems. A drastic worldwide decline in freshwater habitats and biodiversity necessitates an urgent improvement of public understanding about the important function of aquatic systems and, in particular, fluvial ecosystems. Our team is strongly commited to improve this understanding, in rehabilitating and restoring affected aquatic systems and, in protecting these vulnerable ecosystems
Species identification of freshwater algae, protists and invertebrates, including benthic meiofauna. Biological and ecological assessment of water quality using the saprobic index based on protist species. We are experts in taxa such as ciliates, benthic rotifers and larval chironomids.
Ecological and environmental impact assessment and monitoring of hydroelectric plants, pulp mills, landfills and other pollution sources impacting streams, rivers, estuaries, ponds, lakes and wetlands. Advices on how to avoid ecological damage or distinctly minimize negative effects on ecosystems.
