ORLANDO, Fla. – Bio-Tech Consulting, a full-service environmental consulting firm headquartered in Orlando, Fla. with offices across the country, today announced it recently expanded its Coastal and Marine Sciences department with the hiring of William “Bill” F. Precht. Precht will serve as Director of Coastal and Marine Sciences and is a renowned marine scientist with decades of expertise in marine resource assessment, restoration and mitigation.
Under Precht’s direction, the expanded service line will provide clients with specialized nearshore assessment and remediation solutions for infrastructure development activities affecting coral reefs, seagrasses, mangroves and other critical marine ecosystems. With coastal development and climate resilience increasingly impacting marine environments, Bio-Tech Consulting’s expansion of this service unit reinforces its commitment to delivering science-based, sustainable solutions that balance development with ecological preservation.
“We are thrilled to welcome Bill to our team,” said John Miklos, Founder and President of Bio-Tech Consulting. “His extensive experience in marine ecosystem management, coral reef ecology and coastal restoration positions us to provide industry-leading solutions to our clients. This expansion is a natural step forward as we continue to grow our full-service environmental and ecological consulting capabilities.”
Precht provides an extensive background in marine resource assessment, having worked on numerous projects related to coral reef conservation, coastal resilience and environmental impact mitigation. His leadership complements Bio-Tech Consulting’s best-in-class marine and coastal environmental services for commercial and governmental organizations working in sensitive coastal regions.
“With increasing environmental pressures on our nearshore habitats, it’s critical to integrate responsible, science-driven solutions into coastal development projects,” Precht said. “I am excited to join Bio-Tech and help build a strong marine and coastal service division, and I look forward to working with the talented teams at Earth Systems and Bio-Tech Consulting to provide comprehensive environmental support for our clients.”
This expansion strengthens Bio-Tech Consulting’s position as a premier provider of environmental solutions, complementing its existing expertise in land-based development, ecological restoration and regulatory compliance.
