Ocean observation is important to understand how our oceans are changing and predicting how our coasts and fisheries are affected by those changes. Increasing the availability and sharing of ocean science and data ensures Canadians can safely navigate through our coastal waters, maintain our coastal economy, and build resilient coastal infrastructure.
The Government of Canada has invested in the Canadian Integrated Ocean Observing System (CIOOS) to improve coordination and collaboration among the national and international ocean research community. This webinar discusses CIOOS and the importance of open data, plus 1) FAIR principles and the importance of data sharing, 2) CIOOS and its place into this open data landscape, 3) why CIOOS was created and how it works, and 4) the future vision for data platforms and data repositories.
