Title: Fisheries and Oceans Science
Description:
Being on the cutting edge of marine science is the name of the game at Fisheries and Oceans Canada - and for good reason.
Canada is a maritime nation. Our country has the longest coastline in the world, the longest inland waterway, largest archipelago and shares the world’s largest freshwater system.
Understanding the three oceans that surround Canada as well as its waterways and aquatic resources is crucial if we want to ensure their sustainability. Mastering that understanding is the challenge that scientists face each day at Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
