A.I.S. Inc.

We are gearing up for our big announcement on Monday... Any guesses? - Stay Tuned! ??????

Driving Innovation with Technology ???? We've come a long way since #1994! Our business was built on the collection of #reliable, #accurate, and #unbiased #environmentaldata. In 2024, we’re still committed to that same mission.?We’re #revolutionizing how we collect this data by using advanced monitoring systems along with cutting-edge technology. Our Electronic Monitoring Solutions (EMS) is transforming the way #fisheries operate by providing real-time, accurate data collection through wireless video transfer, cloud-based storage, and machine vision #algorithms. By reducing risks and operational costs, we ensure compliance and efficiency while enhancing safety at sea. Our Scientific Research and Technical Service Solutions (SRTS) is focused on revolutionizing how we collect #environmentaldata in the lab and in the field.?From genomics and bioinformatics to #eDNA sampling and bioenergetics modeling, our advanced methodologies deliver actionable insights for aquaculture initiatives and ocean engineering. We’re tackling challenges like #oceanacidification and species protection to safeguard marine health. As we look to the future, we’re committed to staying ahead of the curve in sustainability practices, ensuring that we continue to lead in both technological advancements and #environmentalstewardship.

????? Happy #NationalBeachDay! ????? Today, we celebrate the beauty and serenity of our shores. Whether you're soaking up the sun, or enjoying a refreshing swim, beaches offer endless relaxation. But let's not forget our responsibility to protect this #ecosystem! ?? Remember to clean up after yourself to keep our beaches pristine. ?? Avoid disturbing #wildlife and respect nesting areas. ?? Reduce plastic use and opt for eco-friendly alternatives. At #AISInc, we’re proud to play a role in #preserving our coastlines through beach re-nourishment efforts. Our Protected Species Observers (PSO) are involved with beach re-nourishment projects across the US. Together, we can ensure our beaches remain beautiful and vibrant for generations to come! ?? #BeachDay #ProtectOurOceans #BeachRenourishment

We Will Never Forget ?? On this day, we pause to honor the lives lost and the countless heroes who emerged from the tragedy of 9/11. It was a day that changed the face of our country forever. We remember the victims, the families, and the brave first responders who gave everything in the face of unimaginable adversity. #NeverForget #Remembering911 #UnitedWeStand

From Coast to Coast: Our National Impact ???? Founded in Massachusetts, A.I.S. Inc. has steadily expanded its reach across the U.S., now providing #fisheriesmonitoring services in key regions such as the North Pacific, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Gulf of Mexico. In 2001, we were honored to be chosen as a provider for NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Observer Program. This was followed by our selection in 2012 for NOAA’s North Pacific Observer Program and, in 2019, for NOAA’s Southeast Fisheries Science Center Observer Program- programs we proudly continue to support today. To better support these initiatives, we expanded our offices to locations like Toms River, NJ, Anchorage, AK, and Seattle, WA. Whether it’s supporting #local fisheries or contributing to #national environmental policies, our mission is to help preserve sustainable #marineecosystems for generations to come. As our team of #biologists, #scientists, and #professionals continues to grow, we remain committed to advancing scientific understanding and delivering actionable insights that drive sustainable resource management and environmental stewardship. #Growth #EnvironmentalMonitoring #Fisheries #Sustainability

From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders! ???? In #1994, A.I.S. Inc. was incorporated by its current owner and CEO Arvidas Poshkus with a clear mission: to promote sustainable fisheries and protect our oceans. For over 10 years our CEO sailed on fishing vessels across the US.?His time at sea set him on the path to founding A.I.S., Inc.?Driven by his vision, he turned his #passion into #reality, building a company dedicated to supporting #sustainablefisheries and environmental protection. Starting with a small team of dedicated marine experts, we’ve grown into a nationally recognized leader in #fisheriesmonitoring, #compliance, and #datacollection. Our success comes from our ability to mobilize a skilled, dispersed workforce, a focus on customer service, and innovative management. Our commitment to the environment has only strengthened as we’ve expanded our reach.? To truly appreciate our success, we must remember where we began. ?? Take a look at where we started:

???? #MarineMammalMonday ???? Today we are showcasing the Cuvier's Beaked Whale! ?? Scientific Name: Ziphius cavirostris ? Life Span: Up to 60 years ?? Population Status: Data Deficient Cuvier's Beaked Whales are among the deepest diving mammals, reaching depths of nearly 10,000 feet! ?? These elusive whales are found in oceans worldwide, preferring deep, offshore waters. Their distinctive features include a robust body, a short beak, and a curved mouthline that gives them a "smiling" appearance. While their population status is unclear, they face threats like #NoisePollution, #Bycatch, and #MarineDebris. Conservation efforts are crucial for their protection. ??
