Looking for a 2020 good news story? Read on!

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.

Sensors, science and sampling: March 2020 expedition highlights

From 1-13 March, Natural Resources Canada and Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) embarked on the annual spring expedition aboard CCGS John P. Tully to maintain infrastructure at observatory sites in the southern Salish Sea and offshore locations at Folger Deep and Barkley Canyon.

These maintenance expeditions allow for a hands-on approach—remotely operated vehicle (ROVs) hands, that is—to ensure things are running smoothly on the underwater networks, to deploy new instruments, and to enable sampling for calibrations, ongoing studies, and experiments.

Led by ONC’s marine operations experts, the 18-member team of scientists, engineers, technicians, data specialists and Canadian Coast Guard crew were able to complete 52 out of 56 planned operations, resulting in a...

Wiring the Abyss Leg 1: 19 June - 3 July 2018

During this 2-week expedition aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Vessel John P. Tully using Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility's ROV ROPOS, a team of 35 scientists, engineers, technicians and data specialists will conduct around-the-clock operations to maintain, install and improve instrumentation on the offshore cabled observing networks at Barkley Canyon, Cascadia Basin, Endeavour and Clayoquot Slope.

Highlights of Leg 1 include an exciting new neutrino experiment at Cascadia Basin to determine whether this location can support a large-scale neutrino detector array in the future; expanded instrumentation at Endeavour, including new...

First Expedition of 2014 bound for Salish Sea

SIDNEY, BC - Ocean Networks Canada’s first major expedition of the year launched today as the CCGS John P. Tully pulled away from the dock for an intense week of key maintenance operations on VENUS ocean observatory locations in the Salish Sea.

The Ocean Networks Canada engineering team will be at sea from March 5 to 11, conducting maintenance on instrument systems at the Saanich Inlet and Strait of Georgia seafloor arrays. Joining them are the Canpac Divers/ITB Subsea team with their Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Oceanic Explorer, Natural Resources Canada's Gwyn Lintern and a number of scientists visiting the ship to handle scientific samples.

May 2010 Cruise Recap

​

​

​

Our Spring 2010 installation & maintenance cruise sailed May 8-24 aboard the CCGS John P Tully. It was a very busy time for 4 Ocean Networks Canada staffers, 2 contractors, 1 student and 1 Canadian Navy officer who joined 8 ROPOS crew members and the 21-member CCGS Tully roster. In the space of 16 days we completed 21 ROPOS dives at 5 locations, including one dive to the Fraser Delta site in the Strait of Georgia.
