Despite the usual complexity of working in the deep sea—with a global pandemic to boot—Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) successfully maintained, upgraded and expanded hundreds of offshore, inshore and coastal ocean observing instruments and sensors this year. This interactive ESRI story map summarizes the year’s highlights and successes in advancing technology, science, community engagement and partnerships on all three of Canada’s coasts.

On 8th February 2022, we’re celebrating Ocean Networks Canada’s (ONC) 16th birthday with a recap of our 15th anniversary achievements, and a look forward to what’s next for ONC, ocean observing, the blue economy and the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, 2021-2030.

From underwater tech upgrades through to a hunt for buried equipment, Ocean Networks Canada successfully completed its annual spring checklist to maintain the inshore VENUS observatory sites located in the Strait of Georgia and Saanich Inlet while aboard the Canadian Coast Guard ship, *John P. Tully*.

During this seventh year of partnership, Ocean Networks Canada and Ocean Exploration Trust embarked on a 24-day expedition (June 25 to July 18) aboard E/V *Nautilus* to maintain and explore ONC's 800+ kilometre cabled, ocean floor observatory NEPTUNE. Experience deep-sea discovery in the Pacific Northeast at depths of up to 2,660 metres through science and technology highlights from the 2023 #ONCAbyss Summer Expedition.

Explore highlights from ONC’s deep-sea fall expedition, including video streamed from the abyss by remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Odysseus. Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) partnered with Pelagic Research Services for the last #ONCabyss voyage of 2023. This 14-day expedition onboard the Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) *John P. Tully* took viewers off-shore and to depths of up to 2.6 kilometres to maintain the 800+ kilometre underwater cabled NEPTUNE observatory, located off the west coast of Vancouver Island. Exciting deployments included a new research project aimed at combating climate change. Come aboard and find out more! ONC is supported by the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Government of Canada, University of Victoria and Government of British Columbia.

Explore highlights from the first #ONCabyss expedition of 2024, onboard the Canadian Coast Guard vessel, *John P. Tully* from March 9 to 17. Working like a well-oiled machine, Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), Tidewater Canada, and the Canadian Coast Guard (CCGS) started mobilizing the *John P. Tully* on Saturday, March 9 for the seven-day #ONCabyss expedition to maintain ONC’s Victoria Experimental Network Under the Sea (VENUS) observatory sites. ONC is supported by the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Government of Canada, University of Victoria and Government of British Columbia.

Explore highlights from the #ONCabyss summer 2024 expedition, onboard Ocean Exploration Trust's exploration vessel, *Nautilus* from June 6 to 27. This 21-day expedition marked the eighth year of partnership between ONC and Ocean Exploration Trust (OET) to service and maintain the North East Pacific Time-series Undersea Networked Experiments ( NEPTUNE ) observatory located off the British Columbia coast. ONC is supported by the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Government of Canada, University of Victoria and Government of British Columbia.
