promoting the sustainable use of natural resources

Welcome

Since 1988 Saltwater Inc. has been an industry leader in the design and implementation of fishery and marine mammal observer programs. Annually we employ over 100 marine observers who collect fisheries data for a variety of public, private, and foundation clients. This observer data is used to manage U.S. fisheries and marine mammal populations in a sustainable way. We are currently recruiting biologists to work as fishery observers in the Alaska groundfish, Alaska crab, Alaska scallop, and Hawaii marine fisheries programs. We are also recruiting At-Sea Monitors and Dockside Monitors to work in the New England Fisheries.
