Founded in 1986, Chen Moore and Associates, Inc. (CMA) specializes in civil engineering, water resources, water and sewer, landscape architecture, electrical engineering, transportation, planning and irrigation, environmental and construction engineering services. The firm has its headquarters in Fort Lauderdale. CMA has regional offices in Miami, West Palm Beach, Orlando (Maitland), and Jacksonville, with additional offices in Jupiter, Port St. Lucie, Sarasota (Nokomis), Gainesville, Tampa, and Atlanta, GA. At CMA, we understand the need to balance development with the protection of natural resources providing innovative designs with emphasis on value and durability that are environmentally conscious. Water is a critical resource in Florida fundamental to the residents, the natural environment, the agricultural economy and recreational opportunities. Balancing the demands of a growing population with the need to protect the natural ecology of rivers, lakes, wetlands and estuaries requires thoughtful planning and infrastructure investment. We work with our clients to identify protected natural resources, including wetlands, coastal/marine resources (mangroves, corals, seagrass), upland trees, and threatened and endangered fauna/flora that may conflict with their proposed infrastructure projects. Our staff includes Water Resource Engineers, certified Envision Sustainability Professionals, SWS Professional Wetland Scientists, UF Florida Master Naturalists, and ISA Certified Arborists who can perform quantitative and qualitative assessments of protected natural resources, and who work directly with our civil engineers to design projects to avoid/minimize resource impacts or develop mitigation strategies to offset unavoidable impacts. Mitigation strategies may include habitat restoration design for freshwater wetlands, uplands, coastal wetlands, or marine habitats, and mitigation bank coordination. We can also develop resource management plans for our clients, including Urban Forest Management Plans, and help identify funding sources to implement those plans. www.chenmoore.com
