As Fisheries Analyst with OceanMind’s Intelligence and Compliance team, Lois applies satellite vessel tracking and remote sensing data to detect and assess potential IUU fishing activity, producing actionable intelligence that supports partners and enforcement agencies in protecting marine resources. She holds an MSc in Marine Conservation, where her research focused on strengthening conservation management measures (CMMs) for elasmobranchs in IOTC fisheries. Before joining OceanMind, Lois worked as a fisheries consultant across the seafood supply chain – from vessel monitoring and leading on-board observer work in UK trawl and dredge fisheries to processing and export in Pacific tuna fisheries. She has collaborated extensively with governments, NGOs, industry and intergovernmental organisations such as the World Bank and various RFMOs. Having seen first-hand how limited resources can challenge enforcement, Lois is driven to apply data and technology to strengthen compliance and ensure that fisheries regulations deliver real-world impact.

Being involved in fisheries since he was old enough to wear rubber boots, Jay brings a diversity of experience to his role as a Senior Fisheries Analyst at OceanMind. This includes working with his father as a commercial fisherman, university and industrial research in freshwater fisheries, extensive tracking of Atlantic salmon at sea and time as a Biologist with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Canada. This period in his life culminated with Jay receiving his MSc in Biology, focusing on Atlantic salmon life history modeling and examining the reasons for population collapse in Atlantic Canada, where he was nominated for the Governor General's Award for his thesis. Jay then worked for over a decade as a Project Manager for Archipelago, delivering electronic monitoring programs globally, while acting as their representative at many international fora. Having moved to Norway, Jay recently worked for TMT as a Senior Analyst supporting their team delivering MCS training and support from West Africa to the Indian Ocean. Jay now focuses on using AI and data solutions to create a thriving, equitable, and sustainable future for all by delivering capacity building and knowledge transfer to OceanMind's clients and partners globally. When he isn't working in the fisheries sector Jay can often be found out in his fishing boat relaxing and enjoying the Norwegian coastline.

As OceanMind's Principal Data Scientist, Ricardo is developing data analysis algorithms. After earning his first degree in marine biology and fisheries, he split his professional time between data analysis and conducting research at sea in locations around the world. Later, upon finishing a PhD focused on whale bioacoustics and social behaviour, Ricardo worked on a series of research projects studying the impact of human-made noise on marine mammals. He has since further honed his data analytics skills as a data scientist for various commercial and non-profit organisations, where he consistently applied statistical modelling, signal processing, and machine learning techniques to solve problems in wildlife conservation, renewable energy, and medical device technology. Now, Ricardo is excited about advancing data solutions to inform management and strategy for sustainable use of the ocean.

Pablo leads the Intelligence and Compliance team, bringing strategic and technical leadership to support global fisheries monitoring and enforcement. He ensures the team delivers actionable insights and builds long-term capacity with partners worldwide. Before joining OceanMind, Pablo spent nearly eight years at sea, working across inshore and offshore fleets to support MCS operations and fisheries research for governments, regional fisheries management organisations, and academic institutions. He began at OceanMind as an analyst, producing intelligence reports from maritime data, and went on to design the organisation’s intelligence architecture — from technology selection to analytical processes. Pablo has trained MCS observers, enforcement and surveillance teams, and intelligence units, and has worked with several leading fisheries institutions. He continues to support partner training while advancing the use of satellite data for decision-making at strategic, operational, and tactical levels.
