Fish stocks have been vastly depleted worldwide, with many species driven to commercial extinction. It is estimated that the world has seen a 90 percent drop in the population of large oceanic fish since the 1950s. Led by Dalhousie University, an international research and technology development consortium, the global Ocean Tracking Network (OTN Global), aims to revolutionize the way oceans are observed and understood, and thereby contribute to more sustainable use of the oceans. The Canadian Ocean Tracking Network (OTN Canada) is the initiation of a 7-year integrative research program, in partnership primarily with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, but also with other supporting and partnering academic, government, conservation, and private organizations across Canada, which will use OTN Global technologies and infrastructure (acoustic
