Hello

My Story

Since 1987, Dana Sanders, Jr. has worked in wetland consulting under the guidance of his father, Dr. Dana Sanders Sr., the principal author of the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. In 2018, he assumed leadership of Sanders Environmental Services, continuing the firm’s long-standing commitment to technical excellence and regulatory integrity. Over the past 15 years, he has led all wetland delineations, mapping, and reporting for projects ranging from small residential parcels to large-scale developments exceeding 2,600 acres.

Wetlands are a defining factor in development across the Gulf Coast region, and effective planning requires both technical expertise and practical regulatory experience. Since the adoption of the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual by all 13 Corps Districts, Sanders Environmental Services has served as a trusted consultant to developers navigating wetland and permitting challenges. The firm’s client base spans the country from Oregon to South Florida, and it maintains strong working relationships with state and federal regulatory agencies as well as engineers throughout south Mississippi, including extensive experience supporting major pipeline and infrastructure projects.
