FIELD OPERATIONS
ECSI’s field team conducts organized, time- and cost-effective sampling across a variety of habitats
using experienced personnel, research vessels, and specialized field equipment.
With a large array of equipment, research vessels, and experienced technicians and scientists, ECSI helps clients professionally manage environmental monitoring and assessment needs.
Our clients include manufacturing and industrial firms, food processors, academic institutions, financial institutions, public utilities, law firms, municipalities, government agencies, and private citizens.
ECSI’s reputation in environmental science is built on practical problem-solving, careful execution, and proven technology applied to unique project needs.
ECSI’s field operations team works closely with our taxonomy laboratory to support entrainment and impingement sampling, helping clients move from field collection to sample processing, aquatic identification, and reliable reporting.


ECSI’s research vessels are stored on trailers at company headquarters and ready for deployment across varied sampling environments. The fleet supports bottom trawling, beach seining, crab trap and gill netting, water and sediment sample collection, and electrofishing.
Raw data in the form of original data sheets or complete, clean databases? Extensive written reports with tables and figures? All of the above? ECSI's organized team is here for all your data needs!
