EIR & Permit Wizard
Walk a real California aquaculture permit, step by step.
Shellfish and seaweed only. Every cost, timeline, and agency line is stamped with where the number came from — real data, template, proposed default, or your input. Gaps stay visible on purpose.
Demo mode. Walk the full wizard, watch the estimate update, see the draft packet on screen. Saving a draft, exporting the PDF, and (later) submitting to an agency require an account.
Agencies and students: sign in for full access. Student exports are watermarked; live submission stays disabled for everyone until v2.

2. Alternatives analysis
{user-input} — Required CEQA alternatives: no-project; alternative sites; alternative gear types; reduced-scale project. Use Permit Reef's barriers brief to populate the regulatory baseline.
3. Biological resources
Pick a species to populate.
4. Cultural & tribal co-management
{user-input} — Identify culturally affiliated tribes for the project area and document consultation initiation, scope, and ongoing governance arrangement. Permit Reef strongly recommends initiating this before any agency filings.
5. Cumulative impacts
{user-input} — Reference past, present, and reasonably foreseeable aquaculture, restoration, and dredging projects in the same hydrologic and ecological units.
6. Mitigation monitoring & reporting program
{user-input} — Each mitigation in §3 needs measurable performance standards, monitoring frequency, responsible party, and corrective action triggers.
Sections marked {user-input} require your team's narrative before any agency review. The PDF packet keeps these placeholders intact so reviewers can see what's still open.
