Project Management
We provide quality management services for a variety of environmental projects, and are experts in marine industry standards, environmental policy, Canadian blue economy legislation and regulation.
Environmental Assessments
We have the proven ability to collate large amounts of data efficiently, to the highest standards and generate comprehensive, industry leading reports. We have a reputation of being able to do this under aggressive timelines to meet industry and regulatory requirements so decisions can be made effectively and in near real time.
Past Projects
Abandoned Vessel Assessments
Port Au Choix and St. Anthony, Newfoundland – EDGEWISE was sought to complete assessments of both an abandoned barge and vessel in accordance with the “Abandoned Boats” program administered by Transport Canada. The assessments were successfully accepted by Transport Canada and the towns were able to pursue plans for removal.
Indigenous Engagement
EDGEWISE has a strong relationship with Indigenous communities in Newfoundland and Labrador, including Miawpukek First Nation, Qalipu First Nation, and the Nunatsiavut Government to provide tailored training and workshops focused on marine fauna identification and observation protocols.
Emergency Environmental Response
EDGEWISE provides personnel to assist with wildlife surveys and data collection, most often in East Coast Canada. EDGEWISE has facilitated and participated in the development of wildlife response plans compliant with federal and regional regulators and stakeholders.
We have also developed a Wildlife Observer Program for the Eastern Canada Response Corporation (ECRC). This program shall be required of wildlife observers before being permitted in the field for specific environmental response activities.
Seabird Kit Provision
EDGEWISE has built and provided over 40 kits to reside onboard multiple client vessels and offshore installations. These kits include all equipment trained personnel would require for the safe handling, disposal and storage of stranded, dead/oiled birds in an offshore environment. We also provide custom training videos and online live training for seabird handling and awareness.
We have facilitated the provision of Seabird Handling Kits from one of our offshore clients to donate to the Indian Bay Ecosystem Corp. in Cape Freels, NL. These kits will assist them in their handling and storage for a project focused on Leach’s Storm-Petrels (Oceanodroma leucorhoa).

Working with Edgewise was an absolute pleasure. Our staff completed the Seabird Observation course, it has been the most interactive and interesting training we’ve completed to date.

We can’t wait to get on the water again.
