ASL to Work on Metocean Data for Offshore Wind Project in Atlantic Canada
. The analysis focuses on Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, where near-term offshore wind development is more likely.The study also keeps in mind the broader Atlantic Canada region, with future data needs for projects in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Quebec. The final report is intended to support the development of public measurement campaigns that can be leveraged by a variety of stakeholders to ensure that informed decisions are made in pursuit of developing Canada’s offshore wind industry over the coming years.The outcomes of this work
Canada Launches Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel
station, an ocean sampling room, multiple labs and equipment for collecting and analyzing information. The vessel can also support search and rescue operations and environmental response, when needed.Naalak Nappaaluk was a respected Inuk Elder from Kangiqsujuaq, Nunavik, a village of 800 along Quebec’s northernmost tip. Nappaaluk was a renowned leader, harvester, teacher, consultant, navigator, astronomer and meteorologist. As a knowledge keeper, he was committed to protecting and promoting Inuit language and culture and did so his entire life by teaching others how to survive and thrive

Technology that creates finely detailed maps allowed scientists to locate new hydrothermal vents surrounding the Galápagos, and characterize the chemicals they
Canadian Coast Guard Orders Hybrid Research Vessel
Shipbuilder Chantier Naval Forillon in Gaspé, Quebec has received an order to build a new Near-Shore Fishery Research Vessel (NSFRV) for the Canadian Coast Guard.Expected to join the Canadian Coast Guard fleet as early as 2027, the new vessel will be the agency's first-ever diesel-electric hybrid vessel with a battery energy storage system, designed to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels.Announced last week by Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, the contract was awarded for $55.5 million (excluding taxes) as part of Canada's National
Happy to be Blue
in Panama, where we’re proposing a side event to start talking about the importance of ocean observation in reaching climate goals. And then independent of OFI, there will be a proposal to the Canada First Research Excellence Fund, which includes Dalhousie University, Memorial University and two Quebec universities: Université du Québec à Rimouski and Université Laval. We’re coming together in a new constellation to address carbon and climate change.A banner created for OFI's Ocean Frontier 2022 event. © Ocean Frontier InstituteQ: Throughout your career
Q&A: Growing Blue Economy Opportunities for US Exporters in Canada
United States in many important ways. We can help you do your homework and understand the differences as well as the similarities before you enter any business arrangements. For example, Canada is a bilingual country and while English is the primary language of business, when dealing in the province of Quebec, French may be a requirement. This also affects packaging and labelling requirements, which must be in both French and English. You will also need to understand what standards and certifications are relevant to your products. Our Commercial Specialists in Canada can help you understand these challenges
Climate Change is Flooding the Arctic with Light – and New Species
season.Although the future of Arctic shipping remains uncertain, it’s an upward trend that needs to be watched. In Canada, researchers are working with Indigenous partners in communities with high shipping activity — including Churchill, Manitoba; Pond Inlet and Iqaluit in Nunavut; Salluit, Quebec and Nain, Newfoundland — to establish an invasive species monitoring network. One of the approaches includes collecting water and testing it for genetic remnants shed from scales, faeces, sperm and other biological material.This environmental DNA (eDNA) is easy to collect and can help detect
Teledyne CARIS receives Canada’s Ocean Supercluster Award
.In addition to OFG, Teledyne CARIS will be working with other stakeholders to assist on training, including the University of New Brunswick and Memorial Universities Marine Institute. Both universities offer CARIS software as part of their curriculum. Other stakeholders include CIDCO from Quebec and H2i a consultancy from Ottawa specializing in Ocean Mapping strategy
