Waterfront Office Established in 1978, Archipelago Marine Research is a global provider of sustainable marine resource management products and services. From its headquarters in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, the company’s team of more than 175 industry professionals works with fisheries, coastal communities, and government organizations around the world to help develop efficient, cost-effective solutions for marine resource sustainability. With more than 30 years experience in the marine industry, Archipelago specializes in three key areas:

  • Electronic monitoring programs for fisheries.

  • Observer-based monitoring at sea and dockside.
    Archipelago provides trained and certified observers to assist with fisheries data collection, verification, and reporting—both at sea (monitoring catch and fishing effort), and dockside (monitoring catch landing).
  • Marine environmental services including coastal planning and analysis.
    Archipelago’s team of experienced marine biologists offers a range of professional services including marine habitat surveys and inventories, environmental monitoring and assessments, and coastal planning and analysis.
