Who and What


The brain behind

Dr. Daniel Egli brings with him more than 20 years of experience in the area of sustainable use and protection of marine resources in coastal areas of temperate and tropical ecosystems. During this time he has acquired a sound proficiency in the areas of research, planning and management related to coastal zone use. This is further complemented by a strongly analytic and holistic thinking. You will receive - all combined - a valuable support to develop land use plans, management strategies, sustainability concepts or monitoring strategies.

The Swiss marine biologist feels just as comfortable diving during fieldwork as analysing and presenting data or in planning workshops with a wide range of stakeholders.

His project experience in multiple countries (Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Philippines) and organisations (University of Auckland, Wildlife Conservation Society, IUCN, German Development Cooperation) are among other factors the basis for his high intercultural competence and outstanding ability to work in a team.

twoFish Marine Consulting

twoFish Marine Consulting was established to professionally support efforts of organisations and projects, which are engaged in sustainable use and/or protection of marine resources. The primary focus is on integrated and sustainable approaches to accomplish this goal.

The term sustainability is being applied to a wide range of geographical, social and economical scales and levels. But what does sustainability mean for me? Approaches that have one thing in common: thinking outside the box and including interdisciplinary practices. This implies holistic thinking and working, which in my case is further supported by a large network of contacts and cooperation partners in relevant areas of expertise. To me this active exchange and collaboration signifies the continuous process of development and learning.

twoFish Marine Consulting – a freelance and independent consulting business for various aspects of coastal zone management – offers you a professional and efficient support for your project: with a specific focus on sustainable processes and products resulting in solutions with long-term viability.
