55 Years of Earth Day!
Since April 22, 1970 — that’s 55 years! — we’ve celebrated Earth Day to raise environmental awareness and support for environmental protection. At CSS we have a passion for the environment and through various government contracts, we work with our clients to overcome challenges to help protect this rock we call home.
Below are a few projects our employee owners have worked on to help protect Earth through contracts with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- Monitoring marine mammal health as an indicator for estuarine health (NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science [NCCOS])
- Assisting with wildfire recovery in Maui and California (EPA)
- Protecting and restoring coral communities, and assessing coral health (NOAA NCCOS and Coral Reef Conservation Program)
- Supporting wetlands (NOAA and EPA)
- Protecting seagrass meadows (EPA and NOAA)
- Assessing environmental effects of anthropogenic chemicals (EPA Office of Pesticide Programs)
- Responding to hazardous material spills (CDC)
