We specialize in national and international ocean science and policy. We are a non-partisan and operate based on the best available science. We believe that regional, national, and international ocean issues provide the greatest potential for reaching across the aisle and forming bipartisan coalitions that benefit all Americans.<\/p>\n

We offer competitive rates and retainers for consultation on ocean science and policy issues ranging from regional fisheries management to the benefits and drawbacks of large, remote marine protected areas. We have worked on issues ranging from deep-sea mining to marine protected areas, sanctuaries, and monuments to ecosystem-based fisheries management, to recreational angling, to species specific protection to marine robotics and the integration of new technologies in the marine ecosystem.\u00a0<\/p>\n
