A decade of pioneering ocean science

On Feb. 8, 2006, Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) installed the world’s most advanced cabled seafloor observatory in Saanich Inlet—making history with the world’s first interactive realtime portal into the ocean. This allowed scientists, policy-makers, educators and the public to “enter” the ocean from anywhere, at anytime, via the internet, starting a decade of exploration, innovation and expansion that continues today. In celebration of this milestone, ONC has gathered together the top 10 reasons to celebrate.
