The IWDG have been successfully tendering for consultancy contracts since 2007. We feel we have the expertise and people to provide a good service and all the profit from this consultancy provides essential funds to the IWDG such as the sightings and strandings schemes. The IWDG believe in collaborating with companies, government departments and agencies as well as building capacity and engage with researchers, students and the public. IWDG have been very successful in obtaining funding for consultancy projects but retain an independent voice and are not compromised in our attempts to identify threats and conservation issues. In order to achieve our goals and develop the consultancy we have decided to formally establish IWDG Consulting.
Some of Irelands leading cetacean experts carry out professional services for IWDG Consulting and have access to the most up to date long term stranding and sighting databases as well as access to state of the art equipment. We provide a wide range of services from field based surveys to desk based assessments which can be used to inform Natura Impact, Environmental Impact and Strategic Environmental Assessments as well
as prepare Marine Mammal Risk Assessments. If you have a project which requires our services, you can contact us by email or by phone: consulting@iwdg.ie/0857331251 (Enda)/0868545450 (Simon).
