Biodiversity
CASP has an experienced team to address biodiversity concerns in many ecosystems and working landscapes from agriculture to forestry and wetlands to aquatic ecosystems. Healthy biological diversity is important to a healthy landscape.

Coastal Areas and Island Agriculture
Coastal areas and islands have unique constraints relating to agriculture. Limited land area, erosion, and other environmental considerations all affect the manner in which agriculture is undertaken in coastal areas and on islands. CASP is headquartered in Prince Edward Island, Canada, which is a small, intensively farmed island, and our members have great expertise in ensuring the compatibility of agriculture and competing development interests and dealing with major coastal issues such as climate change impacts and adaptation.

Energy Solutions
CASP has experience in developing energy solutions for rural development that includes biofuels, wind and biomass on both a community scale and a household level. Not only can CASP address energy production but has the experience to address energy efficiency needs.

Environmental Sustainability
Environmental sustainability can be defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Environmental sustainability is a major part of our work and is best achieved when integrated with other important elements of a society and economy. CASP has the expertise to assess the sustainability of projects already implemented, as well as designing projects which take into account local sustainability in both the short and long term.

Parks and Protected Areas
CASP has experience in tourism and protected areas from promoting sustainable tourism to evaluating carrying capacity for ecosystem health. CASP members can address forestry, wildlife, water and management concerns in parks and protected areas.

Soil Erosion
CASP is experienced in wind and water erosion as an environmental problem affecting agriculture production and environmental sustainability. From the grass lands of Inner Mongolia to the potato fields of Prince Edward Island, CASP has worked with governments and local producers to address the issues while allowing producers to maintain their livelihood.

CASP also has experience in addressing coastal erosion issues that result from normal coastal processes, storm surges and sea level change. Whether it is repairing coastal dune systems, or ensuring healthy reefs and mangroves for coastal protection, CASP can provide solutions for mitigation and adaptation to on-going changes.

Technology / GIS
CASP can provide services and technologies to build capacity within businesses and government to collect, track, and analyze information in a timely fashion. Information is key to ensuring that outcomes are being met and provide the appropriate intervention should indicators demonstrate the need for action. CASP can provide a range to technological and Geographical Information System (GIS) solutions that are very user-friendly to operate.

Waste Management
CASP can provide expertise on the design, implantation, and operation of solid waste management programs from community level recycling, composting and landfills to household composting and anaerobic digesters. CASP has the environmental and engineering expertise to manage projects and the public policy and social marketing expertise to help introduce programming into the community. CASP has also conducted education programs at the community level on solid waste management

Water Management
Water is an important part of agriculture, fisheries and community development. There are often competing interests for the resource. CASP can address public policy issues, water quality testing, agreement sharing of resources and evaluate ecosystem health impacts. CASP also has soil and water engineers that can evaluate erosion, nutrient run off and the impacts on irrigated agriculture.
