Biosecurity Consulting

Turning knowledge into action for thriving businesses, communities, and ecosystems

We partner with industry, consultants, governments, research institutions, and NGOs to address complex environmental and ecological challenges — with biosecurity positioned as a core pillar of resilient economies and socio-ecological systems.

Our team delivers evidence-based strategies, practical solutions, and actionable intelligence that safeguard ecosystems, assets, and reputations; strengthen prevention and early-detection capacity; enable responsible development; and support informed decision-making across ports and shipping, fisheries and aquaculture, coastal and water-dependent infrastructure, offshore energy, tourism and ecotourism, marine management and governance, and conservation.

  • A man wearing a blue and white striped shirt, a Chevrolet baseball cap, and blue gloves is holding a lobster over a boat with fishing supplies, with a blurred ocean background.

    Catch data analysed for fishing associations

    We analysed their data for them — so they have the tools they need to build trust with stakeholders, regulators, and more.

  • A large shark swimming in the ocean with a fishing line attached to its mouth.

    Global meta analysis of fisheries data

    We analysed catch and bycatch records, along with market data, to estimate total global shark mortality.

  • Aerial view of five manta rays swimming in the clear turquoise ocean next to a coral reef.

    Analysing tourism observations data

    We developed and deployed a global survey for ocean explorers to identify hotspots of rays, with their threats and values — providing supporting information for policy (CITES).

  • A grayscale image of a fish swimming in dark water, with detailed scales and fins visible.

    Fisheries management evaluations.

    We analysed diverse data sources—fishing effort, catch, and bycatch patterns — to ensure conservation strategies are working.

  • A dead fish, possibly a large shark or a similar species, lying on a sandy beach with the ocean and a clear sky in the background.

    Evaluated Shark Sanctuary policies

    We developed and deployed a global survey spanning 38 countries to assess local threats and compared them to catch rates—providing critical insights into whether and how these policies work in reality.

  • Underwater scene featuring a large shark swimming near a coral reef, with small fish nearby and blue ocean water in the background.

    Identifying global policy loopholes

    Effective policies are essential to safeguarding biodiversity, fisheries, and livelihoods. We were brought in to review all Shark Sanctuary policies, identify loopholes, and recommend improvements to strengthen protections and ensure real impact.

  • A coastal scene with clear blue sky, rocky shoreline, and calm turquoise water with seaweed.

    Evaluating MPA effectiveness

    We developed and deployed an app and analysis tools to help teams track the effectiveness of MPAs in near real-time — across biodiversity, human activity patterns, and ecosystem changes.

  • Close-up of a stingray buried in sandy ocean floor with its eyes and part of its flattened body visible.

    Evaluating the value of Citizen Science in shark research

    We synthesized current knowledge, highlight gaps, and chart a path for future research using citizen science.

  • Aerial view of sharks swimming in clear blue water along the sandy shoreline, with one bird standing on the sand.

    Ecosystem assessments.

    We analysed years of existing scientific data to reveal how temperature, depth, and salinity shape fish distributions.

  • A group of people observing a seal rescue operation on a sandy beach near the ocean, with a black and white seal inside a fenced enclosure and a pelican nearby.

    Understanding global MPA workforce

    We designed and deployed a global survey of MPA managers to assess current staffing levels and identify gaps to help achieve 30x30 goals.

  • An underwater scene showing a diver holding a camera floating near a large shark, with additional sharks swimming in the background.

    Ecotourism protection, threat assessments.

    We designed, developed and deployed an app and analysis outputs to support ecotourism operators to log and track sightings, optimize trips, and have the insights needed for conservation.
