RBI provides a wide variety of services to help our clients resolve problems associated with California’s aquatic biological resources. Our fisheries biologists specialize in fishery resources assessments, aquatic ecosystem evaluations, rapid bioassessment, and the design and implementation of studies to characterize potential effects of our client’s projects on fish and benthic macroinvertebrate communities, instream and riparian habitats, water temperature, and water quality. RBI has extensive experience in providing fisheries and aquatic resource assessments for CEQA compliance and Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation. RBI also provides aquatic habitat restoration services, including the development of restoration plans, project design, permitting, construction monitoring, and pre- and post-restoration monitoring to determine the success of a project.

Our key staff have advanced degrees in fisheries biology, have authored numerous publications in peer-reviewed fisheries journals, and have extensive knowledge of special-status and anadromous fish species. RBI biologists have established close working relationships with biologists from the fisheries agencies, including the National Marine Fisheries Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the California Department of Fish and Game, and maintain a reputation amongst these agencies of providing outstanding work, which enables us to be successful for our clients.
