Projects

Marine Plan Partnership for the North Pacific Coast (MaPP)

The MaPP initiative is a partnership between the Province of British Columbia and 17 member First Nations (collectively the MaPP Partners) that developed and are implementing four marine use plans and a regional action framework for B.C.'s North Pacific Coast.

MegaMove - Overhauling conservation of highly migratory marine megafauna at global scale

MegaMove is a global scientific programme involving a concerted network of hundreds of researchers around the globe to advance the long-term conservation of marine megafauna through strategic mitigation of global threats guided by a multi-disciplinary science plan encompassing movement ecology, ecological modelling, statistical physics, oceanography, marine law, and computer data science.

Northeast Pacific Coastal Biodiversity Action Network

BioActNet will foster cross-boundary biodiversity science for action-oriented marine conservation and management.

OneArgo: an integrated global, full depth and multidisciplinary ocean observing array

OneArgo will transform the revolutionary 'core' Argo array (which tracks the upper ocean physical state) to one that has truly global reach, including the polar oceans and marginal seas, extending to the full ocean depth and including ocean biogeochemical measurements.

Pacific eDNA Coastal Observatory (PECO)

The Pacific eDNA Coastal Observatory (PECO) has been launched in order to develop the capacity for a molecular monitoring network to track, understand, and predict biodiversity changes. Our growing network spans a latitudinal cross-section (Alaska to Southern California), in a region of high economic and social interest in marine resource management.

PlaSTic On beaches: 3D-distRibution and weathering (STORAGE)

STORAGE is an interdisciplinary project which combines chemistry, marine and environmental sciences and numerical modelling through collaborations across geographies, disciplines and sectors. It stands for: predicting the fate of plaSTic On beaches by theiR 3D-distribution and weAtherinG procEsses.

Save The Waves Mobile App

The overall goal of the project is to empower the global surfing community to crowdsource key data on the most pressing issues facing our coastal communities, including harmful coastal development, plastic pollution, sea-level rise and impaired water quality

Scripps Ecological Observatory

Our goal is a publicly available, high quality, high resolution, and continuous record of key environmental variables that will be used to model marine ecosystem dynamics and predict future change.

Sustained Data for a Changing Ocean - Ocean Observatories Initiative

The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a science-driven, climate-sensing ocean observing network that delivers real-time data from more than 800 instruments to address critical science questions regarding the world’s ocean. OOI data are freely available online to anyone with an Internet connection.
