Promoting Restoration

The Ecological Restoration Business Association (ERBA) is proud of the work done by WES and others in the industry to support local economies, restore America’s waters and species’ habitats, and protect coastal communities. ERBA serves as a partner to resource agencies and clients, permittees with a regulatory challenge, and advocates as a growing sector of the nation’s economy that will only continue to grow with the right incentives and policies in place.

ERBA encourages continued private sector investment and innovative solutions that benefit both our industry and the communities WES serves.

Working with WES

"That’s what these companies, like WES, specialize in-going out and finding a key location where it really will make a difference in the overall floodplain. So it's not just restoring, but it’s also enhancing and going a step beyond the state that some of these systems may have been in 50 years ago."
