"You changed the way we do science."
Dr. Robert Cowen
Ocean Scientist
Bellamare was founded on a simple idea: meaningful environmental protection starts with enabling better science. We build innovative, practical oceanographic tools so researchers can generate the data needed to understand and safeguard marine ecosystems. Every instrument we design is built around what scientists actually need in the field, not what looks good in a catalog.

HANDS-ON PARTNERSHIP
We work with scientists from concept through deployment, data analysis, and publication. Once we commit, we don't let go.
2
CREATIVE ENGINEERING
Original solutions to challenging problems, delivered on a reasonable timeline. We thrive on the questions other companies walk away from.

BUILT TO LAST SYSTEMS
Systems designed for reliability, longevity, and real-world ocean conditions. Our first towed vehicle is still operational after 20 years.
Charles Cousin
Founder
Charles works directly with researchers from initial concept through field deployment and throughout the system’s lifecycle. With a background in subsea vehicle engineering and oceanographic systems design, he combines deep technical expertise with a genuine investment in every client’s research goals and a real curiosity for the science behind them.
Cedric Guigand
Co-Founder, Engineering
Cedric is the inventor of the ISIIS-DPI technology. An accomplished technologist with a background in oceanography and over 22 years of experience at sea, he has supported more than 70 scientific missions and developed several innovative marine technologies. His expertise spans marine biology, physical oceanography, and subsea engineering.
