Secure your thriving future—Control your data, guardianship, and rights.
Manage fisheries, IPCAs, wildlife, and nature-based solutions on your terms—with effortless, cost-efficient, real-time insights, collaboration, and control with eOceans.
First Nations have been leaders in guardianship for time immemorial, managing ecosystems with deep knowledge, sustainability, and long-term vision—ensuring that future generations inherit abundance. Today, they are fully documenting species, biodiversity, cultural values, and threats to shape governance, policies, and relationships while unlocking new opportunities like biodiversity and carbon credits.
Through these initiatives, a vast amount of data are being collected, but many Nations face a critical challenge: they must either rely on slow data analysis tools or outsource their data to expensive external consultants—both of which limit their ability to act quickly and strategically.
eOceans removes these barriers—keeping your data in-house, enabling real-time analysis, and delivering the insights needed to protect ecosystems, assert sovereignty, and build thriving futures. Plus, standardized data collection and formatting make it easier to collaborate within and across projects, Nations, and other organizations.
The app you’ve been dreaming of
Designed by PhD scientists, eOceans eliminates the barriers slowing you down.
Instead of relying on expensive external consultants or spending your precious time struggling to wrangle messy data, write and debug code, and format reports, let eOceans handle it as you enter data—so you can focus on discovery, innovation, and your mission.
Engage and collaborate effortlessly—connect with community members, elders, partners, funders, rightsholders, and decision-makers right in the app to share insights, drive action, and amplify your goals.
Our goals:
-
Streamlining your workflow—from data collection to reporting and dissemination—so you get the results you need fast.
-
Every observation is a piece of the puzzle that describes what’s happening in that location at that time. eOceans stitches them together to tell meaningful stories.
-
By helping organizations, researchers, and others avoid reinventing the wheel—analyzing data for just one question at a time—we enable them to use data for multiple purposes, keeping everyone focused on what truly matters.
-
Unlock the full potential of our planet—by protecting and restoring ecosystems, we can double Earth’s $150 trillion in natural assets, securing a thriving future for all.
-
Indigenous and local knowledge holders work within and across nations, collaborating with scientists, researchers, consultants, fishers, divers, explorers, boaters, and others they wish to work with—all within the same app.
What jobs does the eOceans app do for you?
Every project needs clean, interoperable data, analysis, compelling maps, graphs, and other visuals, and reporting. But juggling multiple tools and skillsets drains time, resources, energy, and slows you down. Let eOceans handle the heavy lifting—so you can focus on the big picture.
Data to spreadsheets, visualizations, dissemination
eOceans streamlines parts or all of your workflow—from data collection, quality control, interoperability, sharing, analysis, reports, and dissemination. No more wasted hours on writing and entering data, quality checking, writing and debugging R code, pointing and clicking your way to making outdated maps or reports, or guessing what your impact is. With automated visualizations and flexible sharing options, your work stays relevant, visible, and actionable.
Make the most of your data
Enrich your research with historical context by uploading existing datasets to your project. Need full access? Enable Data Downloads to seamlessly retrieve all your project’s data and metadata—whenever you need it.
Magic Uploads
If you have existing datasets, you can upload them to your project. Once you do, all the data get mapped, graphed, and added to your reports.
Data Downloads
If you add Data Downloads, then you get all your data and metadata exported in a clean, interoperable format for archives, sharing, self-analysis.
Adding data to all your projects is effortless.
eOceans automatically shares based on the projects you’ve Joined, location, sampling methodology, and variables added.
Effortless metric tracking
Track your survey effort, metrics of success, biodiversity, social values, threats, and more through space and time.
Built for teamwork
Invite your team—colleagues, students, scientists, rangers, guardians, fishers, observers, field staff, the public, and more—to contribute data to your project. As they do, the results come to life in your dashboard.
They can even help you co-interpret the results in the app.
Launch your project in under an hour
To get started, it’s as simple as filling out a form that defines your study area, variables, analyses, and data sources.
Our mission is your mission.
We help you get there faster, easier, and smarter.
