ASOCIACION AREAS COSTERAS Y RECURSOS MARINOS

ASOCIACION AREAS COSTERAS Y RECURSOS MARINOS specializes in marine ecological research and wildlife monitoring, with a focused expertise in the collection and analysis of biological samples from threatened marine species. The organization conducts field-based data acquisition operations along coastal ecosystems, particularly targeting migratory species such as leatherback turtles, and compiles scientific findings into formal reports for federal science agencies. Their technical capabilities include field sampling protocols, non-invasive tagging and tracking methodologies, marine biodiversity documentation, and data management systems aligned with NOAA’s research standards. A key differentiator is their on-the-ground presence in Peruvian coastal waters, enabling precise, localized ecological monitoring that supports international conservation initiatives. The contractor has demonstrated direct engagement with the Department of Commerce, specifically supporting NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service through research activities tied to marine species conservation. Their work delivers critical biological data used to inform species management plans and international treaty obligations under frameworks such as the Endangered Species Act and CMS. This relationship reflects a pattern of targeted, science-driven contract execution rather than broad administrative support. Their primary NAICS classification, 813312, reflects a nonprofit organizational structure dedicated to environmental conservation and wildlife protection. The organization operates at the intersection of marine biology, ecosystem science, and policy-relevant data generation, positioning itself as a regional specialist in Latin American coastal marine systems. The entity is structured as an X6 organization, indicating a private nonprofit, and maintains its operational base in Pisco, Peru. While no federal certifications are listed, their ability to deliver field-collected biological data under federal contract demonstrates alignment with U.S. government scientific rigor and compliance requirements for environmental research. Their geographic focus and niche expertise make them a unique provider of in-situ marine ecological services for U.S. agencies operating in the Eastern Pacific.
