Wetland Science

The wetland scientists at Hancock Associates are passionate about balancing the success of your project with conserving the natural environment. This is achieved by thoroughly examining each site, analyzing the built environment and determining how adjacent wetlands and coastal resources are formed, how they work, how to best protect them and in some instances, make new ones.
