A small team tuned to Southern California wetlands.

Coastal Sage Solutions was founded to bridge the gap between large regional firms and the day-to-day realities of getting projects entitled, permitted, and built in sensitive coastal and urban environments.

We combine field experience in wetlands, riparian systems, and urban wildlife corridors with a practical understanding of schedules, budgets, and agency expectations.

  • • Deep experience in the Ballona watershed and coastal LA.
  • • Familiarity with city, county, and regional agency processes.
  • • Clear, defensible documentation and mapping.
  • • Straightforward communication with project teams.
