The teams at the heart of our operations
At Ocean Ecology, the heart of our success is our people. Our diverse team of around 100 passionate individuals is united by a shared commitment to the marine environment and sustainable operations.
Key personnel at ocean ecology include
our locations
We operate from three main centres around the UK. Most of our staff are based in these centres although many roles allow for home or hybrid working and our survey teams can work all over the world.

Gloucester
Our headquarters near Gloucester are in a picturesque rural setting on the banks of the River Severn and witness the Severn Bore several times a year.
These facilities house both offices and laboratories. Samples and data from marine surveys all over the world are sent here for analysis. Our lab teams here provide services ranging from benthic taxonomy to seabed mapping.
Gloucester provides easy access to the sea for our vessels. And the area offers a variety of places for staff to live, either locally around Gloucester or commuting from Cheltenham, Bristol, the Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean.
Oban
Our facilities in Oban, on the west coast of Scotland, are based in glorious settings at the European Marine Science Park. This places them strategically at the heart of the UK’s aquaculture industry and ensures they are also ideally positioned to serve offshore wind and other sectors in the blue economy.
Our staff here provide traditional marine laboratory services as well as more modern techniques, such as eDNA analysis. Our subsidiary, Tritonia Scientific, is also based here.
The bustling port of Oban and its hinterland offer a variety of activities for those enjoying the great outdoors on land and sea.


Plymouth
We have two bases in the thriving city of Plymouth, a globally recognised centre of excellence for marine science and technology.
One is home to a team of marine scientists working on projects all over the UK and beyond. The other houses both marine and data scientists, including Data Solutions, our specialist team established to handle the increasing volume of data gathered through field surveys and lab analysis.
With its connections to the marine biology sector, Plymouth is an ideal base for our operations. The city offers a range of lifestyles and is a great location for those loving the marine world and appreciating the beautiful and varied landscapes around it.
