OPEN DATA. OPEN COLLABORATION.
GREATER IMPACT.
We're transforming ecosystem conservation initiatives and the sustainable use of coastal & marine resources in Atlantic Canada.
OUR IMPACT
Data informs everything we do. Sharing and using open data has significant benefits for marine and coastal planning and decision making. The more high-quality data you have, the better decisions you can make. Open information sharing helps us identify environmental changes earlier and adapt and innovate sooner.
