Ecology & Environmental Science Services

We understand that our terrestrial, freshwater and coastal environments are intrinsically connected, so we strive to be both interpreters and caretakers of our natural environment.

Morphum Environmental is guided by the philosophy of ecosystem-based management embracing the relationship between people and our natural environment. We view our natural environment through a wide lens that includes ecological, mātauranga māori, social, recreational, amenity and economic values.

Morphum offers a range of scientific services to help clients make informed decisions and take actions that balance ecological integrity with project needs.

Freshwater & Terrestrial Ecology

The ecosystems of Aotearoa New Zealand are globally unique. Morphum’s understanding of these ecosystems comes from our team of leading experts in the flora and fauna of our beautiful country.

We work with plants and wildlife from both terrestrial and freshwater environments, with several of New Zealand’s leading published ecology consultants a part of the Morphum team.

We’ve performed ecological research, furthering our understanding of these species and ecosystems, and we use this first-hand experience to help create sustainable outcomes for our natural world.

Contaminated Land

Morphum’s experts on the investigation and management of contaminated soil help prevent harmful substances from reaching workers, communities, future landowners and the surrounding environment.

If a site has been used, or has potentially been used, for industry or activities that involve probable ground contamination, then it’s very likely an investigation will be required.

As part of this process, we investigate potentially contaminated land and plan any remediation of the site, giving our clients the piece of mind that their next steps will result in positive outcomes and removing risk from ongoing issues.

Environment Restoration Planning Services

Restoration Planning

Morphum's founding goal is to co-create a thriving ecosystem for generations to come. Restoring what has degraded or been lost is core to achieving this goal, and as part of our catchment services, we aim to rehabilitate degraded areas, enhance biodiversity and improve water quality.

Our work enhances mauri and restores balance to these areas, through our work in developing adaptable engineering and scientific solutions to the issues facing our natural spaces.

Environmental Management Plans & Systems

Our clients come to Morphum to receive Environmental Management Plans (EMP's) that are right, first time.
‍
Our best practice approach includes identifying risks, ensuring compliance with regulations, setting measurable targets, and tracking and reporting performance, all helping mitigate negative impacts.

This reduction in waste, pollution and staff incidents leads to lowered operational costs for the site and increased buy-in from stakeholders and communities.

Environmental Policy

With so many variables involved in our environment, the policies created to protect and restore are often just as complex.

Morphum not only helps interpret environmental policy, but we consult and provide data that informs these policies as third-party experts.

Our consultation in this space offers us greater insight into how to interpret and implement national and local government policy, so we can help our clients understand what this means for their project, assets and organisation.

Restoration Planning

Restoring an area of our environment takes a lot of work, fortunately Morphum embraces this complexity to enable restoration projects.

With geospatial tools and ecological understanding to plan a restoration project, and the engineering ability to design and manage execution, our expert teams are perfectly positioned for restoration planning projects.

Our past restoration projects include streamworks, wetland design & construction, native planting plans, biodiversity & wildlife planning and ongoing monitoring of restored sites.

Integrated Catchment Management

Catchments are complex webs of variables, and planning for their future relies on capturing what makes each catchment unique.

Our integrated catchment planning approach addresses the interconnections within ecosystems and between these ecosystems and people including cultural, social, recreational, and economic values).

By addressing land use, water quality and biodiversity collectively, we develop robust catchment plans that support the overall health of catchment areas, ensuring sustainable outcomes for future generations.
