Who We Support
At Aqualore Labs, we work with the people who care about the health of New Zealand’s waterways, from councils and consultants to farmers, educators, and everyday stream stewards. Whether you’re monitoring for compliance, education, restoration, or curiosity, our freshwater macroinvertebrate services make ecological data clear, fast, and useful.
Environmental Agencies
We partner with environmental agencies to monitor aquatic ecosystems using freshwater macroinvertebrates, providing high-quality, focused data to support ecological research, restoration, or regulatory reporting.
Farmers & Land Owners
Need to understand the condition of your stream? Whether you're applying for grants, working with a certified farm-plan advisor, or need data to support a consent application, we provide fast, reliable stream bug monitoring that gives you trusted ecological data you can actually use.
Our results can support your planning, demonstrate good land care, or help track improvements over time. For visual clarity, we also offer optional macroinvertebrate photo summaries, showing exactly which macroinvertebrates were found.
Developers
We help developers in sectors like housing, land use, infrastructure, and agriculture assess stream health using fast, science-backed macroinvertebrate monitoring. Our results support resource consent applications, pre-construction planning, and post-construction assessments where ecological data is required.
We work with planners, consultants, and project teams to deliver clear ecological data whether you're checking baseline stream health or demonstrating restoration outcomes.
Curious Individuals
You don’t need to be part of a big project to care about your local stream. Whether you're a nature lover, a student, or just curious about the health of a nearby waterway, we welcome individual submissions.
Our clear reports and optional photo add-ons make it easy to see what’s living in your stream and the water’s condition.
Local Councils
We assist councils in assessing stream health through macroinvertebrate analysis, helping to monitor freshwater ecosystems, track long-term changes, and support policy or restoration goals with clear biological data.
Environmental Consultants
We assist councils in assessing stream health through macroinvertebrate analysis, helping to monitor freshwater ecosystems, track long-term changes, and support policy or restoration goals with clear biological data.
Schools
We support schools by analysing freshwater samples to help students explore stream health and aquatic biodiversity. Simply send us your sample and we’ll provide clear results, along with optional photos that make the findings easy to share in the classroom.
It’s a simple, engaging way to bring real-world freshwater science into your teaching, without needing lab experience.
Community Groups and Iwi
We work with community-based groups including iwi, catchment groups, and local trusts, to support freshwater protection through biological monitoring and educational sampling. Whether you're leading a planting project or assessing restoration progress, we offer the tools and data to help. Optional photo summaries help tell the story of your stream’s biodiversity clearly and compellingly.
