Eliot Fisher / Environmental data & digital systems

Environmental information.
Built for decisions.

I help environmental organizations and local governments turn scattered research, spatial data, and complex rules into practical tools and workflows.

Ways I can help

Connect the information
to the decision.

Start with what people need to do. Then build the system that helps them do it.

A little about me

Marine science. Land-use planning.
The tools in between.

My work grows out of experience with coastal places, planning decisions, and environmental research. I’m completing an MA in Environmental Policy and Management at the Middlebury Institute, with graduation expected in December 2026.

Off the clock: photography, fish prints, and things made by hand.
