Canadian technology takes ocean mapping to new depths

Researchers and industry leaders now have quicker access to data showing the complexity of the world’s seabed. Part five of Canada’s Ocean Supercluster: a six-part series.

For the Vitality project, Barry Stevens, president of Stevens Solutions & Design Inc., has been playing around with huge swathes of data on aquaculture, tidal energy and off-shore wind energy projects to show how the ocean looks and how it changes.
