How we do it

Our goals

We envision a world where everyday decisions are guided by real-time, science-based insights — enabling ecosystems, societies, and economies to thrive together.

We empower mission-driven teams to stay 100% impact-focused by providing the infrastructure, expertise, and tools to turn complex observations into clear, actionable insights for smart, timely, and scalable decisions.

We built the world’s first cloud-based platform for nature–society projects. Our patent-pending system lets teams collect and fuse diverse data from any source — supporting over 1 billion variable combinations — while automating analysis, visualisation, and reporting at any scale.

By freeing teams from time-consuming data wrangling and reporting, we aim to save over 1 million hours per year for teams worldwide, allowing them to dedicate resources where they matter most: solving the planet’s most pressing social–environmental challenges.

Designed and built by experts.

eOceans was founded, designed, and built by PhD scientists who saw the need for a better way to track and understand our rapidly changing world.

Dr. Christine Ward-Paige, Founder

Dr. Ward-Paige has contributed to some of the most top-cited papers in marine policy and conservation, driving significant international change.
While working at Fisheries and Oceans Canada she evaluated biodiversity, fisheries policies, functional diversity, and protected areas. It was there she realized that the existing methods were too manual, siloed, expensive, and slow to keep up with the rapid changes unfolding in marine ecosystems.
It cost upwards of a million dollars to assess whether a protected area was effective or to determine the sustainability of a fishery or the impacts of invasive species. As a result, the majority of areas and issues went unassessed.
Determined to change this, she set out to create a solution where every protected area, fishery, species, and ecosystem could be assessed in real-time for less than $5000 a year—saving an estimated $291 billion in time and data, and unlocking the capacity for smarter, faster decisions.

Dr. Geoffrey Osgood, CTO

Dr. Osgood has a passion for the oceans, ocean exploration, statistics and visualization, and education – a great fit for eOceans. Through his PhD, Geoff developed an expertise in analyzing disparate ocean field data, from standardized sampling techniques to opportunistic crowdsourced data. He also taught quantitative ecology and inspired others to appreciate the complexity of the ocean and to value the importance of longitudinal data and deploying spatiotemporal multi-variate analysis when trying to describe the ocean. He has joined various field research teams around the world and has developed great empathy for those who depend on the ocean – human and wildlife alike. Geoff is excited to combine his expertise with Christine’s to bring their combined knowledge to deliver expert analytics and insights to organizations and communities around the world.

Ireland Moro, Science & Policy

Ireland Moro (MMM) supports organisations working to create and execute projects for the places that matter most.
As a policy specialist and Science Coordinator at eOceans, she works at the intersection of science, governance, and technology — helping turn big ideas into real-world action.

She is positioned to collaborate with teams around the world to ideate, launch, and scale projects that advance conservation, sustainable development, Indigenous-led governance, and policy.

Ireland thrives on making big ideas actionable, from concept to impact and is here to help you with your project’s journey.

Madeleine Platt, Data Analyst

As a Data Scientist for Socio-Ecological Systems at eOceans, Madeleine supports organisations on data side of projects.
Madeleine specializes in turning complex, messy data into clean, standardized insights that drive real-world impact. Working at the intersection of science, governance, and technology, she builds analytical tools that help teams visualize patterns, assess risks, and make smarter decisions—faster.

From shark trade data and fisheries market assessments to reef fish ecology and beyond, Madeleine is passionate about using data to unlock solutions.
Inside and outside eOceans, she collaborates with teams to design workflows that ensure data quality, accelerate analysis, and strengthen the science-policy connection.
If you're working on a project that could benefit from robust data science and thoughtful design, Madeleine is here to help you go from concept to clarity—and action.

Proudly Canadian

Designed and built in Canada, eOceans upholds the highest standards of research ethics while balancing needs of governments, academia, First Nations, Indigenous and local knowledge holders, fisheries, industry, research organisations, NGOs, businesses, and more.

Purpose-built tool.

Since the ’90s, we’ve been collecting and analysing data for governments, industries, fisheries, and tourism. Every project took too long, cost too much, and demanded too much effort to deliver the insights needed. Our dedicated teams worked hard, but the time-sucking tools we were using — paper logs, spreadsheets, R, GIS, publication outlets — were not built for today’s complex, rapidly changing world.

That’s why we built eOceans: a powerful, self-serve SaaS and Enterprise platform that puts advanced data science in your hands. When projects require extra support, we provide bespoke analysis and full-service consulting. Projects finally get done faster, smarter, and with real impact.

Data ethics

Ethical data use is non-negotiable—and built into eOceans.

We facilitate compliance with research ethics, legal frameworks, and data sovereignty, enabling researchers, consultants, businesses, governments, First Nations, fishers, tourism operators, and others to collaborate responsibly.

Unlike many nature-logging apps that expose sensitive species and locations, eOceans integrates safeguards, risk disclosures, and permissions to meet institutional, regulatory, and community standards.

With 30 years of ethics expertise, we provide the most secure and compliant platform for responsible data-driven decision-making.

Stance on flying

We only fly when absolutely essential—never for meetings or conferences that can be done virtually. This means travel is limited to field work and meeting with communities where virtual meetings are not possible. This isn't just about reducing our environmental footprint and leading by example, it also keeps our marketing and travel budgets low so we can keep prices low for you.

If you believe in what we’re doing, help spread the word—wherever you go.

History

Founder, Dr. Christine Ward-Paige, came from the renowned RAM Lab (Ransom Myers' lab), where students joked that if he could, he’d stack us data analysts floor to ceiling—determined to analyse all the world’s data to document the state of our oceans and planet.

Over two decades of research, Dr. Ward-Paige led studies on coral reefs, sewage pollution in coastal ecosystems, shark sanctuaries, Caribbean biodiversity, the global status of manta rays and sharks, the Great Fiji Shark Count, eShark Thailand, marine spatial planning, policy evaluations, and more. Each project followed the same painstaking process: collect data then wrangle, process, analyse, and visualise all of it, interpret results, write a report, submit for publication, revise—and finally publish. By then, the findings were years out of date, never updated, and locked behind expensive access fees of pay thousands in Open Access fees.

Christine had had enough. Critical insights that should have informed decisions in real time were arriving years—if not decades—too late. In an era of cloud computing and continuous data streams, she knew science didn’t have to work this way.

If Waze could revolutionise driving with people logging potholes and accidents, why couldn’t science work the same way?

While on maternity leave in 2017, she began designing eOceans—a global platform for managing projects effortlessly, in real time. With just an annual subscription, researchers, organisations, and businesses can save thousands of hours per project, foster ethical collaborations, and avoid spending millions on custom-built software.
