We provide solutions to environmental challenges grounded in local communities. Our expertise ranges from data collection, to synthesis, to dissemination. We specialize in quantifying the effects of human activities (both land and sea) on marine ecosystems. Our products can inform sustainable development, marine and coastal planning, and natural resource management.

Jade Maeva Delevaux, PhD
Lead Consultant & Co-founder
Kosta is a spatial scientist and marine ecologist with over 20 years of experience translating complex marine and coastal science into practical tools and strategies for sustainable management.
His work sits at the intersection of ecology, spatial analysis, and policy, with a focus on applied research that informs real-world planning. Kosta specializes in marine spatial planning, ecosystem service and natural capital assessments, blue carbon initiatives, and fisheries and habitat management—bridging ecological data with the human decisions that shape outcomes in coastal and ocean systems.
His technical expertise includes ecological sampling and monitoring design, statistical modeling, GIS and remote sensing, spatial decision-support tools, and scenario analysis. He has contributed to projects involving marine habitat mapping, conservation planning, climate-informed nature-based solutions, and ecosystem service valuation across diverse tropical regions.
Kosta has worked extensively across the United States, Indo-Pacific, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, and the Middle East, in close collaboration with governments, NGOs, research institutions, and local communities. Across all contexts, his focus remains the same: delivering transparent, credible science that is useful to decision-makers and rooted in equity, resilience, and long-term sustainability.
Jade is an environmental scientist with over 15 years of experience leading stakeholder-engaged science–policy-finance work in tropical and small-island contexts.
As a Senior Fellow and Training Lead at Stanford’s Natural Capital Alliance, Jade designs and facilitates capacity-building programs that connect local governments and communities with tools to assess and apply natural capital approaches. She has led science-policy engagement across the Pacific, Caribbean, and Indian Ocean regions, including her leadership of the Strong Coast Project, which integrated participatory workshops, training activities, and policy co-development with governments, NGOs, and coastal communities.
Jade brings deep technical expertise in GIS, spatial modeling, and ridge-to-reef ecosystem service assessments, with a particular focus on land-sea connectivity and climate-informed planning. Her work has contributed to the development of blue economy indicators, MRV systems, and decision-support tools used in marine spatial planning, conservation finance, and sustainable development initiatives.
She has collaborated with partners in Madagascar, New Caledonia, Belize, and the Cook Islands, among others, producing science that is accessible, applied, and grounded in local priorities. Fluent in English and French, Jade brings a strong commitment to inclusive, participatory processes and to building local capacity through training, co-design, and long-term partnerships.
