About this webinar:
This webinar series investigates different ways technology is being applied to understand the marine environment, with a particular focus on the activity and impacts of vessels that are not using Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders. As a result of this knowledge sharing, community of practice members can apply this range of technologies in new ways to address information needs for a safer marine environment.
The Canadian Integrated Ocean Observing System (CIOOS) is Canada’s home for ocean observing data, funded by the Marine Environmental Observing, Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR), Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the Tula Foundation. CIOOS is a collaboration with partners from coast to coast to coast bringing all of Canada’s ocean data under one online platform to make it easier for ocean data consumers to find, access, and reuse observations for improved place-based decision making.
