About Us
The place where marine knowledgemeets real-world experience.
Vekamar is built around expertise, curiosity, and hands-on experience with the people who work with the ocean every day.
Founded by Virginia Polonio and based in Ireland, Vekamar works with fisheries, aquaculture producers, seafood businesses, and marine organisations around the world — from large-scale industrial fleets to small-scale and artisanal fisheries in data-limited settings. From sustainability and certifications to fisheries management, traceability, and strategic support, our work is always shaped by the realities of the sector and the people who depend on it.
We know that no two fisheries are the same. No two clients are either. That is why we take the time to understand every project, every challenge, and every objective before recommending a way forward.
