Our vision is:"environmentally sustainable management of the waters and lands of the Pacific Realm". Our mission is "environmental investigations and reporting that inspire environmentally sustainable management". Our specialty is linking ecological science, psychological science (especially in relation to perception and preference), environmental policy and planning. We have particular expertise
in ecological monitoring design and implementation; natural character or environmental naturalness assessments; environmental restoration; biosecurity and invasive species policy and assessment; ecological evaluations; and environmental policy and impact assessment. Our areas of work include terrestrial environments, rivers, lakes and riparian areas along with coastal and marine environments. We produce scientific reports, articles for scientific and popular publications as well as video productions. Our education work has ranged from writing and managing tertiary level courses to community focused field interpretation and visitor-centre video productions. We have a strong commitment to assisting community organisations and to that end the Directors have contributed considerable pro-bono work.
