Coastal Permitting Specialists

The Ocean State offers unparalleled beauty, but it also comes with strict oversight from the Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC). Whether you are proposing a residential dock, repairing a seawall, or improving your view, you need a consultant who specializes in the unique regulations of the "Coastal Zone." At Avizinis Environmental Services, we are recognized coastal experts dedicated to balancing your project goals with environmental compliance.

View Corridors & Buffer Zone Management

We specialize in Buffer Zone Management plans that allow for the removal of invasive vines and shrubs, replacing them with native species. We also design and permit View Corridors, mindfully pruning vegetation to open up sightlines to the water while maintaining slope stability.

Shoreline Protection & Revetments

 Erosion is a constant threat to coastal properties. We assist homeowners in designing and permitting shoreline revetments and sea walls to protect your land from storm surges. If your existing structure is failing, we navigate the maintenance and repair permits required to secure your shoreline against rising tides.

Dock Permitting & SAV Surveys

Planning a new dock or pier? The presence of protected underwater plants can stop a project in its tracks. We specialize in Subaquatic Vegetation (SAV) Surveys to identify and map eelgrass and widgeon grass beds. By locating these resources early in the design phase, we help you site your dock to avoid critical habitats, ensuring a smoother approval process for your CRMC Assent.

Dune Restoration & Resilience

For properties directly on the beach, a healthy dune is your first line of defense. We design and coordinate dune restoration projects, utilizing sand fencing and planting American Beachgrass to rebuild eroded dunes.
