Why commercial ships carry ballast water on board, and how it affects the marine environment.
What efforts are being undertaken by the marine shipping industry to help advance reconciliation?

Clear Seas examined the spatial distribution of commercial marine shipping incidents and accidents in and around Canadian waters and created an interactive, user-friendly visualization tool to share this data. Accessible to all, this tool can be used to highlight areas of potential shipping risks, identify trends in marine incident reporting, and help inform policymakers and the public on the safety of marine shipping in Canada.
This powerful new resource will enable users to analyze trends, learn from past events, better assess risk, and help build a safer and more responsible marine shipping industry.
