About Us

Your Trusted Partner in Marine Permitting and Surveys

Puget Sound Aquatic Surveys began their experience in permitting waterfront construction and conducting marine surveys in 2013. These years of experience have enabled a deep understanding of the regulatory requirements as they have evolved over the last decade, to include specialization in the Salish Sea Nearshore Program and mitigation requirements on the State and Federal level. In the current regulatory climate, it can be a challenge to address concerns from Tribal Councils, County Councils, Advisory Committees and the National Marine Fish Service, among others. PSAS is committed to helping our clients move through the process as quickly as possible while navigating the complex rules and codes enforced by each agency. Clients appreciate our practical, no-nonsense approach and explanation of the process in basic terms.

In addition to permit consulting, PSAS is certified to conduct Eelgrass and Macroalgae Surveys as well as WDFW Forage Fish Egg Surveys to help bring your project from the beginning stages to the final construction.

If you are in need of Shoreline Permitting, Eelgrass and Macroalgae Surveys, or Forage Fish Egg Surveys please contact us.
