Ships are increasing in size and number to carry trade through Canada’s Pacific region. This study assesses future ship traffic patterns up to 2040.
Learn about new research to understand how accessible, accurate and timely weather, water, ice and climate data support safe navigation in the Canadian Arctic.
An analysis of the effects of climate change and the strategies that the Canadian maritime sector needs to adapt to meet this rising threat.
Building on its previous work on shipping risks, Clear Seas examined the rates of vessels involved in maritime incidents and accidents in Canada, based on the type of ship and occurrence and the volume of marine traffic in each region.
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.
The North Atlantic right whale, which lives and hunts in Canadian waters, is one of the most endangered species of large whales in the world.
Clear Seas is undertaking a multifaceted analysis to help describe risks related to marine shipping activities and to assist in marine spatial planning on Canada’s Pacific coast.
