The Canadian Integrated Ocean Observing System (CIOOS) is Canada’s nucleus for integrated ocean science and observing activities. CIOOS engages locally, connects regionally, and coordinates nationally to elevate Canada’s ocean monitoring to the global stage. These partnerships generate information and facilitate place-based solutions to advance our understanding of the ocean. With CIOOS, users can now discover, access, and visualize high-quality data through our online platform. By navigating these vast waters together, CIOOS helps prepare for Canada’s future by unlocking the true potential of our ocean, coasts, and waterways.
The CIOOS data catalog is built on the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network(CKAN) web portal platform.
L'Observatoire global du Saint-Laurent (OGSL) is the institution hosting the national catalogue of CIOOS. But CIOOS is led by 3 main regions (CIOOS Atlantic, CIOOS Pacific and OGSL for the St. Lawrence sector).
