Wetlands, Coastal Resiliency, and Nature-Based Adaptation Legal Support

Northgate’s wetlands expertise covers assessment, restoration, permitting, policy, watershed hydrology, coastal engineering, design, construction, monitoring, dredged material reuse, and water quality. We specialize in complex, multi-stakeholder disputes involving tidal and non-tidal wetlands, shoreline protection, and sea level rise resiliency, from site-specific projects to large regional efforts. Our team has developed expert opinions on stormwater impacts, forensic analysis, sediment reuse, fisheries, aquatic ecology, ecological risk, tide line determinations, natural resource damage, and sea level rise. Our wetlands scientists and economic analysts create legally defensible work products for settlements and court trials.
