Plastics Remediation

As plastics pollution gains increasing attention across the U.S. and internationally, our Environmental and Coastal Groups are leading the development of new methods to assess and restore impacted environmental resources.

With their deep expertise in coastal ecology, restoration and remediation, our teams are ideally suited to provide far-reaching solutions that serve the community and the environment.
