Nautica Environmental Associates LLC Information

Nautica Environmental Associates LLC is an Abu Dhabi based environmental consultancy that combines local expertise and knowledge with high international standards and experience. Providing services to a wide range of industries, we offer a practical and realistic approach towards sustainable solutions. Since the late 1990s we have carried out over 400 studies into the marine, coastal and terrestrial environments of the Gulf region. This has established a quality and depth of scientific understanding that informs all of our on-going projects. NEA grew, first and foremost, out of a close working relationship between independent field scientists who, since the early 1990's, had been conducting environmental studies in the United Arab Emirates. Working mainly for the civil and oil/gas sectors and spanning a range of disciplines (notably marine biology, terrestrial ecology, ornithology and geomorphology) researchers found common cause in their respective studies, and over time developed stronger links and co-operation. Based in Abu Dhabi (UAE), NEA works primarily in the Arabian Gulf countries, although projects have taken us into the wider Indian Ocean region. Our associates are noted professionals in the field of environmental investigations and impact assessments, possessing extensive and current knowledge of regional environmental issues. Our services comply with international ‘best practice’ standards and are managed and maintained in accordance with Clients’ requirements and expectations. All our services are provided in accordance with our quality system accredited to ISO 9001:2008 and environmental management system 14001:2004.
