Royal was born in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and has grown to serve all of coastal Louisiana with offices located in Houma, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and Cameron. Our team lives, works, and plays on the coast, so it’s not surprising that Royal is an advocate for coastal Louisiana and is dedicated to safeguarding coastal areas as well as the human and natural communities that call the coast home. We have a deep understanding of both natural and anthropogenic stressors that chip away at the integrity of the coastal landscape, and we have watched our own coast wash away before our eyes. We understand the often-compounding factors that contribute to coastal flooding, and we have seen first-hand the devastation and lasting impacts it causes on our communities. We understand the urgency of protecting the coast and are committed to innovative solutions and a multidisciplinary approach to restore and protect coastal areas while enhancing resilience to day-to-day stresses and larger natural disasters. Our team of coastal planners, scientists, engineers, and project and construction managers is devoted to preserving and restoring coastal habitats, mitigating flood risks, and promoting sustainable development practices to ensure the long-term well-being of coastal habitats and communities.

Having led the development of Louisiana’s first comprehensive plan aimed at restoring and protecting our coast, our staff has spearheaded efforts in Louisiana and the region for the past two decades. We offer holistic, implementable coastal master planning that integrates restoration and protection and can be scaled from individual municipalities to the entire coast. With expertise in coastal ecology, fisheries, and both the art and science of restoration, we have designed and implemented projects including marsh creation, barrier islands, shoreline protection, and protection projects including levees and water control structures. Our coastal experts are embedded in every phase of restoration, from planning and acquisition of funds to environmental compliance, engineering design, and implementation. We support the environmental compliance phase through developing restoration plans and environmental assessments (RP/EA), biological evaluations, environmental impact statements, and other related documents. We offer hydrodynamic modeling, permitting, and an analytical perspective that supports decision-making at all levels. Our coastal staff work closely with clients such as the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority of Louisiana, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, local municipalities and governments, and federal agencies. We partner with other companies, non-governmental organizations, and subject matter experts to deliver coastal projects throughout the region.
