We deliver a full range of feasibility study
and investment planning, product management, environmental
management and trade development services to fisheries &
aquaculture enterprises. In addition, we participate in applied
research and technology transfer projects.
Our activities in the aquaculture
sector include:
- Aquaculture facility design &
site selection;
- Production & operations management
- Hygiene and disease management
- Investment feasibility studies
- Training & HRM
- Product development
- Processing technology management
- Technology transfer
- Integrated Coastal Zone Management
Other, related activities include:
|
Aquaculture |
EIA and EMAS of fish farms and fish farm facilities
(shrimp, sea bass, sea bream) - studies for EU funding
of aquaculture farms - facility design - satellite imagery |
| Fisheries |
Development of small scale,
coastal and artisanal fisheries (marine fisheries, inland
water fisheries) - Socio-economic development of coastal
fisheries industry - population dynamics - gear selectivity
- legislation - discards - mathematical/statistical
modelling of fisheries
NAVIGATOR maintains a group of researchers to undertake
field work (sampling, fishing vessels use, experimental
fishing etc.) for any research project. |

Coastal Zone Management |
Multi-dimensional organisation
of coastal human activities (tourism, aquaculture, fisheries,
recreation, bathing, industry, urban development) -
water quality monitoring - GIS - remote sensing |
| Agriculture |
Design and operation of
irrigation-drainage systems - 3D/mathematical/statistical
modelling of drainage plumes - GIS - irrigation systems
design - 3D terrain reconstruction - satellite imagery |
|
Research |
- coastal zone management
- water quality analysis (physical-chemical)
- trophic webs
- lagoon/river delta environment
- mathematical/numerical analysis of ecosystems
- oceanographical research
- site selection and coastline zonation

We are familiar with the main standards and funding opportunities
in the fisheries & aquaculture sector, including:
- FAO Codex Alimentarius
- Directives 4028/86 and 3699/93
- PESCA Initiative
- Common Fisheries Policy
- National Development and Structural Funds
- HACCP
- EMAS
- EIA / EIS standards
We have extensive experience in Mediterranean fisheries &
aquaculture, and have played a significant role in the development
of aquaculture facilities in Greece.
Our consultants are often called to offer expert witness
testimony at court cases involving aquaculture units. We also
participate in numerous international trade and scientific
conferences.
NAVIGATOR has in-house GIS and remote sensing capability
for on-line monitoring of fishing or cultivation regions.
We can design sensing equipment to cover all levels and strata
of a farm, as well as providing information on macro-scale
pollution control and risk management.
