ESAis proud to return as a sponsor of the 40th Annual Environmental Permitting Summer School in Marco Island. As a 100-percent employee-owned environmental consulting firm with more than 55 years of experience, ESA delivers technical excellence in environmental planning, permitting, compliance, mitigation, restoration, and coastal engineering. Operating from 21 offices nationwide, ESA partners with federal, state, and local agencies and private clients to advance infrastructure, water, transportation, coastal resilience, and community development projects while navigating complex regulatory frameworks.
In the Southeast, ESA provides deep expertise in state and federal permitting, environmental review, and coastal engineering. ESA maintains five Florida offices in Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota, Boynton Beach, and Pensacola, as well as Mobile, Alabama, and Atlanta, Georgia, supporting projects across the region’s diverse ecological systems and regulatory landscape. Our environmental experts routinely lead Environmental Resource Permits, Section 10/404 CWA permitting, and sovereign submerged lands authorizations; NEPA documentation; protected species consultations; wetland delineation and mitigation strategies; water quality analysis; living shoreline and shoreline stabilization design; and coordination with FDEP, USACE, USFWS, NMFS, and FWC.
By integrating scientists, nature-based engineers, planners, and regulatory specialists, ESA helps clients move efficiently from early project development through permitting, design, and implementation, balancing infrastructure needs with environmental stewardship. Our collaborative approach and long-standing agency relationships support practical, defensible permitting solutions that keep projects on schedule while protecting Florida’s natural resources and coastal environments. www.esassoc.com.
