The ocean contributes significantly to Canada's economy, yet < 10% has been adequately mapped and 1/3 of species remain unknown to science. Hence, information needed for the sustainable development of Canada¿s ocean resources remains lacking. This research program will focus on mapping the spatial complexity of the ocean from the seafloor to the surface. The integrated picture created will enable monitoring of changes in ecosystem health. This program will combine conventional approaches, but also examine the use of autonomous vehicles in coastal and northern regions in order to understand the relationships between habitats, resources, human activities and changing conditions.

海洋为加拿大的经济做出了重大贡献，但<10％的绘制了<10％，而科学的1/3仍然未知。因此，仍然缺乏加拿大可持续发展的海洋资源所需的信息。该研究计划将着重于绘制从海底到表面的海洋的空间复杂性。创建的综合图片将能够监视生态系统健康的变化。该计划将结合常规方法，同时还研究在沿海和北部地区使用自动驾驶汽车的使用，以了解栖息地，资源，人类活动和不断变化的状况之间的关系。
