Ocean Networks Canada, a University of Victoria initiative, welcomes today’s announcement of the new marine protected area (MPA) Tang.ɢwan — ḥačxʷiqak — Tsig̱is (ThT) by the Haida
Nation, Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council, Pacheedaht First Nation, Quatsino First Nation, and the Government of Canada.
The salt marshes, mud flats and eel grass meadows of temperate river estuaries are more effective at capturing and storing greenhouse gases than young coastal forests and may
sequester carbon for centuries, if not millennia, according to researchers from the University of Victoria (UVic).
UVic PhD student Brett Jameson is exploring where nitrous oxide comes from.
After a year and a half in development with the Government of Nunavut and the community of Cambridge Bay, a new mini-observatory created by UVic's Ocean Networks Canada is now
streaming continuous data from the Arctic seafloor.
