BlueTerra Launches to Transform Ecosystems and Communities

On March 27, 2025, BlueTerra made its grand entrance into the environmental restoration sector, setting its sights on revitalizing ecosystems and enhancing the resilience of coastal communities. With an impressive start, the company has committed over $41 million toward new projects in Florida, with ambitious plans to expand its efforts into Texas and Louisiana later this year.

Founded by seasoned experts Heather Herold and Jeff Huenink, who together bring 16 years of expertise in environmental restoration and resilience planning to the table, BlueTerra aims to address the escalating challenges posed by severe weather events. The devastation wrought by hurricanes—such as the $129 billion in damages from Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024—highlight the urgent need for innovative solutions in the field.

Innovative Solutions for Coastal Resilience

Heather Herold, CEO of BlueTerra, expressed her enthusiasm about new technologies that can mitigate up to 90% of wave energy, significantly reducing potential damages to homes, businesses, and the surrounding ecosystems. Herold contrasts BlueTerra's mission with traditional companies that often focus on isolated interventions: “Our approach integrates cutting-edge technologies with nature-based solutions, creating projects that deliver synergistic benefits which isolated methods may not achieve.”

Among the extensive range of services offered by BlueTerra are environmental dredging, living shorelines, hybrid reefs, and various forms of shoreline stabilization, as well as beach reconstruction and natural renourishment. Additionally, the company takes on restoration projects for springs, wetlands, salt marshes, streams, lakes, rivers, estuaries, and dunes. They also install buoy and waterway markers and provide mitigation banking advisory services.

A Unified Service Approach

What sets BlueTerra apart is its commitment to a holistic approach. Unlike many firms that concentrate on individual aspects such as engineering, surveying, and monitoring, BlueTerra encapsulates all these services into a single, cohesive offering. “While we have the capabilities to execute projects already designed elsewhere, our team can also handle the entire lifecycle of a project—from design and permitting to funding, construction, and successful completion,” Herold noted.

The core mission of BlueTerra extends beyond mere remediation; it encompasses fostering a thriving relationship between nature and human communities. The company has already built a network of trusted relationships with clients, industry stakeholders, non-profits, and vendors, all of whom share a commitment to integrity and successful outcomes. “We consider our partners an extended family,” Herold commented, emphasizing the collaborative spirit that underpins their mission.
