    Client Testimonials

    “We contracted Carcinus to carry out a benthic survey for us in Chichester Harbour. They have been excellent to work with; initially investigating alternative survey methodologies to reduce the cost and then keeping us informed at every stage once the survey was commissioned. Their report was clear and perfectly met the brief.”
    – Alison Wakelin –Managing Director – Emsworth Yacht Harbour Ltd.
    “We contracted Carcinus for a project in Leicestershire, to carry out a habitat review for notable SAC qualifying fish species bullhead and spined loach. They carried out a field assessment and provided us with a report that we were able to use as evidence for a Habitats Regulation Assessment, giving Natural England the advice sought. They also helped us with habitat creation and restoration advice which was invaluable. I would recommend them to anyone undertaking works to affect freshwater fish.“
    – Andrew Arnott –Principal – The Ecology Practice
    “The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has contracted Carcinus to provide Sanitary Surveys for new shellfish harvesting areas as well as reviews on existing shellfish harvesting areas. As part of the contract Carcinus conducts a review of content and sampling plans in sanitary surveys as the sources of contamination in an area may change with time. This also involves liaising with local authorities to ensure sampling arrangements are workable.”
    – Rebecca Watts –Shellfish Official Controls Advisor – Food Standards Agency
    “Carcinus are highly trusted sub-consultants and a genuine pleasure to work with. They are clearly experts in their field and always seek ways to improve the service that they provide to us and our clients”
    – Ben Weldin –Managing Consultant – Ramboll UK
    “Matt at Carcinus provided us with some really useful advice in the lead up to purchasing our Blue Robotics ROV, allowing us to make the right choices and tailoring the kit for the jobs we need doing. The equipment is very easy to assemble, and again Matt provided us with helpful tips prior to its maiden voyage. The ROV itself handles very well, and with a bit of poolside practise we look forward to using it regularly in the field.”
    – Nick Rogers –Project Officer – Sussex IFCA
