Bedford Basin Plankton Monitoring
Maritimes Oceans and Ecosystem Science (OES)

A marine embayment encircled by the municipality of Halifax region. In 1991, a time series was established to record the weekly state of the plankton ecosystem in this basin. The strategy of regular and perpetual sampling provides data to assess environmental variability at the weekly, monthly, seasonal, annual and decadal time scales

Marine Ecosystem Observatory
Pacific Region

Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Environment Canada jointly maintain a network of weather buoys in the coastal and offshore waters of British Columbia. Values of wind speed and direction, air pressure and temperature, and wave height at the buoy locations, reported hourly via the GEOS satellite, are routinely used to improve marine weather forecasting.
