We believe that tackling big ocean challenges requires more than just great ideas—it demands expert execution and powerful storytelling.

As Canada’s leading ocean project support firm, we help ocean visionaries turn their ideas into impact by ensuring projects are well-executed, strategically supported, and widely recognized.

Founded in 2017, Pisces RPM has supported hundreds of ocean projects across research, industry, government, and non-profit organizations. Whether advancing marine research, driving conservation efforts, or pioneering new ocean technologies, we provide the expertise to make sure your work is not only successful but seen.

A new era in ocean project support

As of March 1, 2025, Pisces RPM has entered an exciting new phase. After eight years of leadership, Dr. Kes Morton has stepped down as CEO, passing the torch to Dr. Melissa Weber and Natalie Gilson, who now co-own the company.

With Melissa’s deep expertise in ocean research project support and Natalie’s leadership in ocean science communication, Pisces RPM is uniquely positioned to continue its legacy of impact—ensuring that ocean projects are not only meeting their goals but are also amplified and recognized within the industry.

"It's not enough to just do good work—you have to be able to tell people about the good work you're doing. Melissa and Natalie make a dynamite pair of leaders on that front." Dr. Kes Morton, Former CEO
‍
While Kes remains in an advisory role, Pisces RPM is forging ahead with a renewed energy on helping ocean visionaries bring their projects to life, share their stories, and drive ocean impact.
