Safe Harbor

What we do

Safe Harbor is an interdisciplinary, environmental consulting group, with offices on Duck Creek, in the Town of Wellfleet on Cape Cod. We study and model natural systems to create resilient, restoration strategies. Safe Harbor works to restore resource values, on Climate Change Interfaces. We develop and utilize sustainable, natural energy systems, in coastal areas damaged by humans or storms. The Biomimicry and Native Vegetation systems we use, restore geomass using surface friction in the laminar flow of storm winds. Native vegetation reduces erosion and provides food and shelter for Native Birds, Insects, Amphibians, Reptiles and small Mammals. The interactions of Native plants and Native animals together, facilitates the transition of carbohydrates into protein, a core ecological value, creating a resilient, sustainable habitat that protects our future.

We work for: Property owners, Architects; Engineers; Attorneys; Contractors; people under Enforcement Action for destroying habitat and sometimes Local Communities; Our Intern Program offers College Credit; Our Environmental e- newsletter OCEAN, goes out to 5,000 readers. We provide ten truckloads of free firewood annually to cancer survivors and elderly on the Outer Cape.
