We're on a mission to accelerate biodiversity solutions by precisely quantifying species, threats, and social values—on land and sea, in real time.

Designed and built by experts

eOceans was founded, designed, and built by PhD scientists who saw the need for a better way to track and understand our rapidly changing world.

Dr. Christine Ward-Paige, Founder

Christine has contributed to some of the most top-cited papers in marine policy and conservation, driving significant international change.
While working at Canada’s Fisheries and Oceans, she evaluated biodiversity, fisheries policies, functional diversity, and protected areas. It was there she realized that the existing methods were too manual, siloed, expensive, and slow to keep up with the rapid changes unfolding in marine ecosystems.
It cost upwards of a million dollars to assess whether a protected area was effective or to determine the sustainability of a fishery or the impacts of invasive species. As a result, the majority of areas and issues went unassessed.
Determined to change this, she set out to create a solution where every protected area, fishery, species, and ecosystem could be assessed in real-time for less than $5000 a year—saving an estimated $291 billion in time and data, and unlocking the capacity for smarter, faster decisions.

Dr. Geoffrey Osgood, CTO

Geoff has a passion for the oceans, ocean exploration, statistics and visualization, and education – a great fit for eOceans. Through his PhD, Geoff developed an expertise in analyzing disparate ocean field data, from standardized sampling techniques to opportunistic crowdsourced data. He also taught quantitative ecology and inspired others to appreciate the complexity of the ocean and to value the importance of longitudinal data and deploying spatiotemporal multi-variate analysis when trying to describe the ocean. He has joined various field research teams around the world and has developed great empathy for those who depend on the ocean – human and wildlife alike. Geoff is excited to combine his expertise with Christine’s to bring their combined knowledge to deliver expert analytics and insights to organizations and communities around the world.

Made in Canada

Designed and built in Canada, eOceans follows the highest standards of research ethics —human and animal — while balance need, working with and for governments, academia, industry, research organizations, NGOs, businesses, and more.

What we do for you

After 20 years of doing data analysis and publications manually, we built the cutting-edge eOceans app to streamline workflows—you can use it by yourself or with our support. We also provide bespoke data analysis and full-service consulting, from defining your mission and vision to executing solutions. Plus, you can invest in impactful projects that align with your goals.

Who we work for

We work for governments, fishing industries, NGOs, consultants, tourism, businesses, aquariums, and more to mobilise data and results faster, driving smarter decisions for people and planet.

Ethics for your work

Ethical data use is non-negotiable—and built into eOceans.

We facilitate compliance with research ethics, legal frameworks, and data sovereignty, enabling researchers, consultants, businesses, governments, First Nations, fishers, tourism operators, and others to collaborate responsibly.

Unlike many nature-logging apps that expose sensitive species and locations, eOceans integrates safeguards, risk disclosures, and permissions to meet institutional, regulatory, and community standards.

With 30 years of ethics expertise, we provide the most secure and compliant platform for responsible data-driven decision-making.

History

eOceans grew out of projects like eShark, eManta, the Great Fiji Shark Count, Shark Sanctuary and Marine Policy evaluations—created to streamline research.

After years of manually collecting data, entering it into spreadsheets, writing countless lines of code, and creating maps in GIS, she knew there had to be a better way.

While on maternity leave in 2017, she began designing the eOceans app—a global solution for managing any project with ease. With just an annual subscription, you can save thousands of hours per project, enable ethical collaborations, and avoid spending millions on building your own app.
