About Mara
Mara brings over five decades experience in marine science and policy to support governments, corporations, and NGOs to make the right decisions.

We connect research to decisions, data to action, and marine science to policy. With curiosity, collaboration and deep expertise, we find solutions where others see barriers.

Oceans are not isolated, nor is our role in protecting them. Climate, ecosystems, human behaviour — they are interconnected, and every decision matters.

For those who seek clarity, collaboration and creativity in solving the most pressing challenges in ocean conservation and sustainable use: let’s do this together.

Because the solutions are out there — we just need to connect them.
