Description
ONC, an initiative of the University of Victoria (UVic), is Canada’s national ocean observatory. ONC has installations and local partnerships with Indigenous and coastal communities on all three coasts, along with an Antarctic station, and more than 32,000 users of its scientific data around the world.
The ocean data collected by ONC’s cabled, mobile, and community-led observatories are accessible to all through ONC’s Oceans 3.0 data portal.
By embracing multiple ways of knowing, ONC supports ocean health through enhanced coastal monitoring, science that promotes ocean resilience and a sustainable blue economy, data that inform maritime safety, and education programs that strengthen our connection to, and stewardship of, the ocean. ONC is committed to: (1) advancing ocean observing; (2) delivering world-class data and data products; (3) enabling ocean-based solutions for climate change mitigation and coastal resilience.
