Fisheries & aquaculture assessment
Fish stock assessment, acoustic and catch surveys, aquaculture siting and carrying capacity, cage and pond systems, and production potential in marine, lacustrine and inland waters.
Ecosystems · Data · Strategy
Evidence for a sustainable future.
We combine fisheries and aquaculture expertise, blue economy insight, ecosystem science, valuation and digital technology to help organisations make better decisions for nature, economies and communities.

Who we are
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.

How we work
From question to confident action.
We build every engagement around the client's decision, not around a standard template. Technical depth, practical delivery and knowledge transfer run through the entire assignment.
01
Frame the decision
Clarify the question, the users, the operating context, evidence gaps and success criteria.
02
Design the evidence
Combine the right field, analytical, geospatial, digital and participatory methods.
03
Build & integrate
Develop models, sensors, data pipelines, dashboards and decision tools around real workflows.
04
Analyse with rigour
Apply transparent methods, quality controls and independent specialist review.
05
Translate for action
Turn findings into clear choices, systems, guidance and implementation pathways.
06
Transfer capability
Train and mentor teams so value continues long after close-out.
