Who we are
Fisheries, aquaculture
Fisheries, aquaculture
and the blue economy.
Eco-consult — registered as Ecoconsult Investments Limited (Kenya, 2017) — is a consultancy specialising in fisheries, aquaculture and the blue economy, working at the intersection of aquatic ecosystems, environment, valuation, evidence and technology. We serve governments, development partners, research institutions, NGOs and businesses across East Africa and beyond.
Our niche is the intersection of aquatic and ecological science and modern analytics — from fish stock assessment, aquaculture siting and value-chain analysis to ecosystem models, valuation, GIS, remote sensing, IoT monitoring and decision-support platforms. We help clients understand complex systems, design credible evidence and convert insight into practical action.
We measure our success the way our clients do: evidence that stands up to scrutiny, arrives on time, and changes what happens next.
We create high-impact knowledge, valuations and fit-for-purpose technology that strengthen fisheries, aquaculture, the blue economy and the organisations we serve.
