We are committed to the development of a data management and dissemination approach that meets the needs of the local oceanographic community and contributes to global ocean observing initiatives.
Expanding Access to Open Ocean Data for Atlantic Canada Through the Power of Partnerships
The Canadian Integrated Ocean Observing System (CIOOS) is a national online platform for sharing, discovering and accessing ocean data in Canada. Data that is integrated into CIOOS will be visible regionally and nationally. CIOOS currently consists of three Regional Association (RAs).
Atlantic Canada is home to world-class researchers and centres of expertise in ocean science. CIOOS Atlantic builds on these strengths with a consortium of partners committed to the development of a data management and dissemination approach for the extensive oceanographic data collected along the Atlantic Seaboard, from Labrador to the USA.
Our mission
To foster partnerships and grow a powerful online platform that generates information, knowledge, and place-based solutions to advance our understanding of the ocean.
Our vision
