MARINE TAXONOMIC SERVICES, LIMITED

Marine Taxonomic Services, Limited specializes in marine invasive species assessment, ecological monitoring, and targeted eradication planning for sensitive coastal and estuarine ecosystems. Their core expertise lies in the identification, mapping, and management of non-native benthic algae, particularly Caulerpa prolifera, with a focus on rapid response protocols and ecological barrier design. The contractor delivers field surveys, environmental data collection, and species-specific intervention strategies tailored to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wildlife refuges, leveraging taxonomic precision and habitat-specific remediation techniques. Their work integrates field biology, remote sensing, and benthic sampling to support Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) frameworks, ensuring compliance with federal invasive species management guidelines under the National Invasive Species Act. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of the Interior, primarily serving the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on high-priority habitat protection initiatives within the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Their engagements center on invasive algae containment, benthic community assessment, and ecological restoration support in marine protected areas. A single contract with the General Services Administration indicates broader federal procurement alignment, likely under the Federal Supply Schedule for environmental consulting services. Their primary focus is environmental consulting services under NAICS 541620, with deep specialization in marine invasive species management within federal wildlife and refuge systems. This niche positions them as a technical resource for agencies managing coastal biodiversity under climate stress and non-native species pressure. Marine Taxonomic Services, Limited is a small, locally based firm in San Marcos, California, operating as a 2L entity with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic positioning provides direct access to critical Southern California marine ecosystems, enabling rapid deployment and sustained field presence in high-priority federal conservation zones.
