In recent years, climate change and global emergencies have emphasized the importance of caring for the ocean with applied science. As a result of these changes, our global ocean is experiencing a significant impact of these effects - including air and water temperature warming, seasonal shifts in species, sea level rise, coastal erosion, loss of marine mammals, changes in levels of precipitation, and fishery declines.
Listen to the recorded sessions of the Esri Canada GIS Ocean Forum to hear a growing community of ocean professionals discuss advances in data collection and analysis to gain a better understanding of our ocean.
