ORCA at the MEOPAR Annual Science Meeting
14:45-17:30, Wednesday 28 October
Join us at MEOPAR’s Annual Science Meeting! Learn about progress to date on ‘Advancing the Sharing of Infrastructure’ in Canada and engage in discussions that will help shape future directions. ORCA and MEOPAR are pleased to reconvene the ocean science and technology community from across the country to share developments on three key initiatives identified for implementation at the Creating a Culture of Successful Collaboration meeting in April 2018.
- the new, soon-to-be launched ORCA website, a platform for collaboration that consolidates existing tools and new tools developed by the ocean science community;
- the Canadian Ocean Infrastructure Portal (COIP), and;
- the Canadian Integrated Ocean Observing System (CIOOS)
We’ll be discussing how these initiatives can be used to support collaboration across the Canadian ocean science and technology community, and the next steps.

Seeking input: the Ocean Noise Strategy for Canada
The Government of Canada is seeking your input on a proposed framework that will be used to develop an Ocean Noise Strategy for Canada. The input gathered through this process will be used to direct next steps, including the development of a draft Strategy, with initial recommendations, in summer 2021.
This federal strategy will help to establish a whole-of-government approach and long-term plan to guide federal science research, technology development and the management of anthropogenic marine noise in Canada’s oceans.
Options to comment on the proposed framework include:
- By way of the Discussion Document found on DFO’s Marine Environmental Quality website
- Directly via an online portal
- Email or Canada Post
