Clear Seas is undertaking a mapping project to illustrate the state of marine shipping in Canada and enable communities to express their concerns about the risks relating to shipping. Through this initiative, Indigenous and coastal communities will be able to access and interact with data such as the routes ships take, and vessels involved in marine incidents and accidents.
Technical capacity will be provided to aid in carrying out additional, locally-driven, exploration of data, with the purpose to help answer questions specific to each community. By democratizing access to shipping data and technical support, communities will have more resources to support active participation in how their local waters are managed and will be able to better engage in decision-making or advocate for policies.
