Company Overview

EcoAnalysts, Inc began in 1992 when a group of three young aquatic biologists recognized a demand for biological monitoring services in the water quality field. Gary and Scott began providing consulting services on a part-time basis as they finished their degrees. As word about us rapidly spread, so did the demand for our services. After finishing graduate school three years later, we officially incorporated as a privately-owned Idaho business. We have been in operation for over 15 years now and have become a nationally recognized leader in the field of biological monitoring and consulting services.

EcoAnalysts has offices in Idaho, Missouri, Washington, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Canada. EcoAnalysts core services include: 1) identification of aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates, periphyton, phytoplankton, zooplankton, larval fish, and fish stomach samples; 2) aquatic ecology research, monitoring and consulting; 3) endangered invertebrate species surveys; and 4) invasive invertebrate species surveys and management plans.

To date EcoAnalysts has completed more than 1,000 projects, having identified over 33,000 macroinvertebrate, plankton, and periphyton samples from around the United States. We have completed projects from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Peru, and Surinam. EcoAnalysts has become one of the largest taxonomic laboratories in the country, with the capacity to process 6,000+ macroinvertebrate samples annually.

Consulting services include, but are not limited to: study design, field sampling, data analysis and interpretation, reporting, educational workshops, publishing educational and technical materials, and technical presentations. EcoAnalysts ecologists produce statistically and ecologically defensible study designs, which are particularly important in determining site-specific biological impacts. Our rigorous quality control procedures, and the accompanying documentation we can provide, give our clients confidence in knowing their dataset is of the highest quality and can withstand peer or legal scrutiny.
