White clawed crayfish
Quants has staff experienced in crayfish survey and whether your project involves retaining walls, watercourse realignment or bridge works we will do the right type of survey for your site. Timely action from us can avoid delays, minimise your costs and ensure project delivery.
White clawed crayfish is partially protected under UK law. It occurs in rivers, streams, lakes and canals but its numbers have declined due to competition from Amercian signal crayfish and the crayfish plague. White clawed crayfish are now a material consideration in the planning process. Trapping surveys must be undertaken by a licensed ecologist between July and October or in April and mitigation can take place during the same months.
