Sasama Consulting was established on 1 September 2012 by Dr Shelley Clarke
as an independent sole proprietorship company specializing in marine fisheries
science and management. Based in Japan, but working throughout the world,
Sasama Consulting provides personalized service for individual clients as well
as technical expertise as part of large, multi-national projects.

As of 1 September 2019 she has returned to Sasama Consulting to focus on two key areas of work: Sharks, Bycatch and Fisheries Management (
