WSP, a multidisciplinary professional services consultancy, and Binnies, a whole lifecycle water and environmental services provider, have announced their appointment to the Environment Agency’s (EA) Ecological Services Framework (EcoSF4).

The EcoSF4 framework aims to enhance the Environment Agency’s ecological capabilities by providing vital support in managing the nation’s water ecosystems. As part of the framework, WSP Binnies JV will offer services including specialist macroinvertebrate survey and sample analysis, fish passage assessment and design, and river restoration and catchment assessment and design. This collaboration will leverage the expertise of both partners to help the EA restore and protect critical aquatic habitats, promoting long-term environmental sustainability.

Emma Hatchett, WSP Binnies JV Framework Director, said:

“Our nation’s rivers and wetlands are vital ecosystems, and we’re committed to restoring them to their natural state. Through this partnership, WSP Binnies JV will help the Environment Agency achieve its environmental targets, fostering long-term sustainability across critical water habitats.”

“We are delighted to offer a comprehensive portfolio of ecological survey and design expertise through this partnership to support the EA in delivering meaningful and lasting enhancements to the nation’s aquatic ecosystem.”

The work carried out under the EcoSF4 will be essential in helping many of the nation’s water bodies reach a good ecological status by restoring natural flow regimes, increasing habitat diversity, improving water quality, and restoring natural functioning.
