Merrill’s successful permitting services assist Marinas, yacht clubs, and any shore side landowner with plans and approvals to better their use on, and access to the water.  Dredge permitting and construction, dock design and permitting, coastal bank stabilization, and revetment re-construction are examples of projects Merrill’s marine division excels at.
