Ecosystem services are those ecological processes that provide significant benefit to humans. Ecological services may vary in importance depending on the ecosystem and natural resource. Marstel-Day’s ecologists, planners, economists, and GIS professionals routinely list, prioritize, and delineate ecosystem services so that clients and stakeholders may recognize and then attach value to these services. Marstel-Day is committed to incorporating ecosystem services assessments into all of our projects to promote better understanding of ecosystems and the benefits they provide.

Marstel-Day brings a multi-disciplinary staff of planners, scientist, engineers, analysts, managers, and GIS specialists in support of our clients’ water resource management needs. Our highly skilled and experienced staff specializes in watershed and coastal resource management, water resource planning, and environmental compliance. We provide comprehensive water sustainability strategies and environmental compliance support for our clients at the federal, state, and local government levels and in the private sector.

“Teamwork, and providing quality customer support, is very important to Marstel-Day. As the on-site contractor, their employees greatly compliment the team while providing enormous energy, thought-provoking input, enthusiasm, and a can-do easy attitude which has been contagious to all who come into contact.”

Marstel-Day works with communities, educational facilities, businesses, and military installations to build plans that address a client’s economic, social and environmental goals. Marstel-Day has expertise in identifying ways to save economic resources and at the same time reduce a client’s overall environmental footprint. By leveraging its proven skills in stakeholder partnering, the company is able to bring diverse groups together to create consensus-based plans.

Marstel-Day has also developed unique strategies that incorporate green infrastructure with available ecosystem services to achieve a client’s sustainability goals. For DoD clients, the company leverages partnering opportunities with the local community, allowing both parties to take advantage of synergies in a way that reduces overall costs.

“We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your professional demeanor and hard work during our recent Scoping Sessions. We recognize the significant commitment involved in the preparation of the materials and the delivery of the message designed to address specific stakeholder questions and concerns as well as our responsibility to reach out to the public and solicit their comments as part of the Land Acquisition and Airspace Establishment Study.”

Marstel-Day continues to identify the factors that may impact or support long-term sustainability of federal agency missions, potential mission changes, or the expansion of a mission capability. Marstel-Day has developed deliberative planning analysis/risk assessment processes. In doing its analysis, Marstel-Day must initially develop indicators and measures of external stressors and conditions and associated data and appropriate data sources. A prototype data set will be established to support on-going strategic basing, mission realignments, mission sustainability, encroachment management, and provide overall situational awareness of conditions and factors that could impact current and future mission sustainability.
