The
Urban Harbors Institute (UHI) is part of the University
of Massachusetts Boston and is therefore able to bring a
well-rounded and academic approach to providing expert advice
on environmental problems and issues. UHI offers technical assistance
and advisory services in fields such as urban planning, coastal
and harbor planning, natural resource management, marine industry
master planning, water transportation and geographical information
systems. Additionally, UHI undertakes meeting facilitation and
conference and workshop coordination.
While
our focus is on urban marine and watershed issues in New England,
we have worked with governments, non-government organizations
and marine industry representatives from around the US, and
internationally from countries in eastern and western Europe,
Africa, and the Caribbean.
Through
each successive project, UHI endeavors not only to deliver superior-quality
products but also to advance the art of marine and coastal management
and problem-solving. As a non-profit organization, UHI distinguishes
itself by its demonstrated dedication to marine and coastal
issues, and its ability to draw on the expertise of the university
community.
