How is BC a world leader in ocean observation science and technology? Are the Trudeau government’s targets for protecting Canada’s marine areas realistic? How is the ocean critical to understanding climate change?
A team of marine scientists from the University of Victoria and the Georgia Institute of Technology have returned from nearly a month of scuba diving on coral reefs in the middle of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. What they saw will haunt them for a long time.
A team of marine scientists from the University of Victoria have returned from nearly a month of scuba diving on coral reefs in the middle of the equatorial Pacific Ocean where they discovered the reefs have been devastated by El Niño.

A mission to deepen our knowledge of rare and threatened baleen whales and help protect them from ship strikes is underway off Flores Island in Clayoquot Sound, led by David Duffus, director of UVic’s Whale Research Lab.
How can salmon populations and industrial development coexist in a sustainable way? How do we involve citizens to collect meaningful ocean data? And how can we make northern marine transportation safer by better predicting sea ice conditions includi…
On Feb. 8, 2006, Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) installed the world’s most advanced cabled seafloor observatory in Saanich Inlet—making history with the world’s first interactive realtime portal into the ocean. This allowed scientists, policy-makers, educators and the public to “enter” the ocean from anywhere, at anytime, via the internet, starting a decade of exploration, innovation and expansion that continues today. In celebration of this milestone, ONC has gathered together the top 10 reasons to celebrate.

The University of Victoria’s Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) is partnering with the University of Manitoba to develop, install and maintain the cabled estuary observatory component of a new Churchill Marine Observatory (CMO) in Hudson Bay.
Pacific research shows that extreme weather patterns—both hot and cold—could mean accelerated erosion in BC. As storm season approaches, BC coastal communities need to prepare for the possibility of extreme flooding and erosion that come with both El Niño and La Niña weather systems, according to new trans-Pacific research published in Nature Geoscience.

The University of Victoria’s Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) is about to embark on what’s expected to be its most exciting expedition. For the first time ONC will be using two ships, exploration vessel Nautilus on its first trip to Canada, and&
Ocean Networks Canada at the University of Victoria and the Pacific Salmon Foundation are teaming up with citizen scientists to increase the quality and range of oceanographic data being collected through a new mobile app called Community Fishers.
UVic's leadership and participation in several national and international big science projects been given a huge shot in the arm with the injection of $14.8 million in new funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI).
What is the warm water “Blob” off the West Coast and how might it affect marine ecosystems and the coastal communities that depend on them? What are the ocean forces that control the planet’s climate, and how are they changing? How is world-leading …
