Secure your fisheries—Unlock opportunities and tackle challenges with confidence.
Get real-time catch and bycatch data analyzed instantly, ensure transparency, rebuild trust, and combat IUU fishing. eOceans helps you break down barriers, protect your resources, and drive a thriving, sustainable fish-to-fork economy.
Fisheries are facing complex, urgent challenges—declining and shifting stocks, widespread mistrust and mis-management, closures due to endangered and invasive species interactions, and barriers to access. Traditional data analysis systems aren’t adequate to solve these problems.
eOceans provides a new approach with real-time catch and bycatch reporting and analysis for any species, gear, location, and organization. Our automated analyses and displays deliver ethically transparent insights—the app does NOT share exact locations unless you want it to—enabling seamless collaboration across the fisheries landscape.
It can be initiated across the supply chain—fishers, scientists, regulators, associations, managers, buyers, and consumers, or all of them together.
eOceans can be used for a range of objectives: to get timely quotas, track catch and bycatch, understand new and evolving fisheries, to end IUU fishing, to evaluate the impacts of pollution, policy or climate change, and more.
The app you’ve been dreaming of.
Designed by PhD scientists who have analyzed data for both government and industry, eOceans eliminates the barriers that slow you down from making smarter, faster decisions.
Stop manually collecting and analyzing catch and bycatch data or relying on closed-door quotas that erode trust. Let eOceans handle all or part of the process in real-time, freeing your time to focus on fishing, fisheries management, relationships, and purchasing decisions that make sense today.
Bridge the gap—get your fisheries data analyzed today.
Your data, analyzed — trusted.
Fisheries associations, companies, RFMOs, restaurants, buyers, sellers, and fishers — everyone can access their own data analysis with eOceans.
This solves one of the biggest challenges in fisheries: trust.
Fishers often feel that fisheries scientists cherry-pick data to fit their biases, while scientists and managers believe fishers provide incomplete data.
eOceans bridges that gap by providing transparency on both sides.
Our goals:
-
eOceans automates data collection, analysis, and reporting, saving you 80% of the time spent on manual tasks, so you can focus on making smarter, faster decisions.
-
eOceans provides real-time insights that allow you to identify and unlock underutilized fisheries, ensuring sustainable growth and opportunities for fishers.
-
By enabling data-driven, transparent management, eOceans helps safeguard vulnerable fisheries and ecosystems from overfishing and unsustainable practices, ensuring long-term health.
-
eOceans ensures that regulatory decisions are backed by real-time, accurate data, making sure quotas and restrictions align with current conditions—protecting both the fisheries and the industry’s future.
-
eOceans connects fishers, regulators, managers, and consumers, building a collaborative framework that encourages transparency, eliminates illegal activities, and drives positive change across the fisheries sector.
What jobs can 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 what’s important.
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.
Adding data to all your projects is effortless.
Seamlessly, you can share with one or hundreds of projects. When you log data in the eOceans app, eOceans automatically shares those data with all the projects you’ve joined based on location, sampling methodology, and variables added.
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.
Effortless metric tracking
Track your survey effort, metrics of success, catch and bycatch, threats, and more through space and time.
Built for teamwork
Invite your team—other fishers, colleagues, students, scientists, rangers, guardians, observers and more—to contribute data to your project. Who you invite is up to you. As they do, your results come to life in the dashboard.
Your team 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.
