With more than 25 years of experience in a field unique for its combination of applied ecological sciences and natural resource economics, IEc is widely acknowledged as the leading provider of natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) and restoration services to federal, state, and tribal governments. We are experts in all types of assessment, from the measurement of a coastal oil spill's immediate effects to the complex evaluation of a hazardous waste site's legacy of impact on its surrounding environment.

Our Services
  • Design and management of technical field studies that document natural resource injuries;
  • Application of leading edge economic techniques to translate reductions in natural resource services into monetary measures of damages;
  • Estimation of damages based solely on the analysis of existing, readily available data; and
  • Identify, evaluate, scale, and monetize restoration projects.

The unique needs of each case dictate the method(s) we use, but in all instances we emphasize a cost-effective approach that efficiently delivers resolution of their damage claim.
