UVic鈥檚 world-leading Ocean Networks Canada embarks on a bold new phase of ocean monitoring. 聽 The British Columbia coast is about to become the 鈥渟martest鈥 on the planet. Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), an initiative of the 番茄社区, is partnering with Western Economic Diversification Canada and IBM Canada on a three-year multimillion dollar project known as Smart Oceans BC. Smart Oceans BC builds on the know-how and proven technologies of VENUS and NEPTUNE鈥攖he world鈥檚 most advanced cabled ocean observatories鈥攖o develop and install a series of mini-observatories, high-frequency radars, and automated vessel information systems at key points along the BC coast.
Canada's gaps in ocean science
The Ring
Canada鈥檚 ocean science research has gaps in vision, collaboration and information at the same time that the world鈥檚 oceans are under stress from unprecedented change and increased pressure from a growing population, a national report concludes.
Changes at Ocean Networks Canada
The Ring
Having established the world鈥檚 first and largest comprehensive underwater cabled ocean observatories, Ocean Networks Canada continues to expand the scope of its activities. This summer and fall, ONC is taking part in a major cruise investigating low-oxygen zones, adding new capabilities to its Arctic node, participating in a major international trade mission and making substantial enhancements to its website.
