South Bay Ecology

At South Bay Ecology, we specialize in biological/ecological research and environmental services.

Our services include:

  • Lake and Coastal Management: We provide expert monitoring and management
    services for small water bodies and coastal areas. These services include harmful
    algal blooms prevention, event response, and management, in both marine and freshwater
    environments.

  • Environmental Consulting: We understand that maintaining compliance with both
    state and federal environmental policies can be strenuous for local businesses. Our
    experts will help you navigate these complex environmental policies. We conduct
    environmental risk, impact, and site assessments and provide best practice
    recommendations to maintain compliance in the future.

  • Cultures and materials: We supply cultures for research groups concerned with
    ecosystem health, seafood poisoning, and natural products discovery,
    supporting groundbreaking studies that aim to unlock nature’s potential. We also,
    provide cultures to schools for educational use and for establishing/diversifying
    aquarium microbial communities.

  • Culturing services: Whether you need monocultures established from your live
    samples, or already established cultures grown in mass we can help.

  • Molecular biology: At South Bay Ecology we offer several molecular biology
    services including the molecular identification of your microbial samples. We are also
    in the process of establishing a qPCR service for quantifying target organisms in situ.
