Blackie has been on the front lines of monitoring ocean change and managing community and regulatory relationships on behalf of aquaculture companies for nearly a decade. He is a fish biologist and holds a master’s degree in aquaculture. His most recent position with Grieg Seafood in British Columbia included building partnerships with first nations groups along the coast and managing government relations.
“An important part of Scoot Science’s mission is to improve humanity’s relationship with the ocean,” says CEO Jonathan LaRiviere. “Data analysis is integral in achieving this goal, as is the deep ocean knowledge of first nations groups and working in concert with regulatory agencies. Craig understands how to bring our shared interests together and we look forward to revealing more of his work as the projects are developed.”
Scoot Science is an ocean data analytics company built to catalyze the blue economy and support fish farmers who need to protect their operations from the risks of rapidly changing oceans. By integrating in-pen environmental data with publicly available oceanographic and meteorological data Scoot Science gives farmers a window into their regional ocean. Scoot Science goes beyond operational insights by building risk models that translate ocean dynamics into marine business outcomes.
