Ocean Science Symposium

May 15, 2017

Teens dive into ocean science

It’s never too early to help young ocean scientists get to know the ocean. In April 2017, Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) hosted its fifth annual Ocean Science Symposium, an engaging two-day opportunity to inspire the next generation of ocean scientists.

Ocean Networks Canada: Big Science for the Salish Sea

The University of Victoria may be home to one of Canada’s major science initiatives ‒ and the only one in the ocean ‒ but Ocean Networks Canada (ONC)’s global focus doesn’t prevent this UVIC-based research facility from playing an active role in the local community. The same Big Science that provides scientists and leaders with tools to understand our changing ocean is also offered with a local flavour to educate and engage our own community.
