Our Environmental Solutions

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs)

We conduct comprehensive EIAs that assess the environmental risks and opportunities of development projects. Our approach integrates local ecological knowledge with international best practices, ensuring informed decision-making that aligns with sustainability goals.

Coastal & Marine Habitat Surveys

Our team specialises in detailed surveys of coastal and marine ecosystems, from coral reefs to seagrass meadows. These surveys inform policy, guide restoration efforts, and ensure that marine biodiversity is recognised, respected, and protected.

Stakeholder Engagement & Policy Support

We facilitate meaningful engagement between communities, government, and the private sector. Through public consultations, workshops, and policy drafting, we help ensure that environmental decisions reflect diverse voices and lead to lasting outcomes.

Biodiversity Monitoring

Gaia provides long-term biodiversity monitoring services to track changes in species populations and ecosystem health. We use standardised protocols and innovative technologies to generate data that drives conservation action and informs adaptive management.

Conservation Strategy Development

From island-wide frameworks to site-specific action plans, we develop tailored conservation strategies grounded in science and shaped by local realities. Our work empowers decision-makers with clear, practical roadmaps to achieve measurable impact.

Integrated Environmental Solutions

We offer integrated environmental services that combine science, strategy, and community insight. Whether used individually or together, our solutions support informed, sustainable development tailored to each project’s unique context.
