Infrastructure and energy are vital to life in the last frontier. The wilderness and grandeur that draw many to visit and live in Alaska demand stewardship and protection. At 61 North, we work at the nexus of these values.
 61 North Environmental is a woman-owned, professional environmental consulting group providing wildlife monitoring, mitigation, permitting, compliance, and reporting services to marine construction projects, energy companies, and government agencies. We help project owners and prime contractors avoid and minimize impacts when building critical infrastructure or delivering energy to our communities. We implement workable mitigation strategies that center project timelines and success while aligning with stakeholder's values. We document compliance with environmental laws with accurate field data and comprehensive reporting.
We specialize in developing, staffing, and executing mitigation and monitoring programs to meet the requirements of Incidental Harassment Authorizations (IHAs), and other authorizations issued under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Our principals have years of experience in the field and behind the desk. We turn decisions in the conference room into action on the job site. We collaborate with regulators, engineers, managers, and project owners, to transform abstract ideas into tangible outcomes to make your project a success.

    Through decades of work in the energy industry and marine construction sector, we’ve developed strong relationships with regulators at federal, state, and local agencies.

    We also have a deep bench of seasonal biologists who have worked on local and remote projects all over Alaska.

    61 North designed and implemented a proprietary data collection system for land-based marine mammal tracking.

    • Theodolite-integrated for precision wildlife tracking and monitoring
