Details
This webinar will highlight the major findings and new indicators presented in the 2021 State of the Ecosystem reports which were delivered to the Mid-Atlantic and New England Fishery Management Councils. These annual reports provide the current status of the Northeast Shelf marine ecosystems (Georges Bank, Gulf of Maine, and the Mid-Atlantic Bight). They inform the councils about social, ecological, and economic aspects of the ecosystem from fishing engagement to oceanographic and climate conditions. The purpose of the reports is to highlight changes and trends in a variety of ecosystem indicators and are intended to inform fishery managers of changing ecosystem conditions. This work is highly collaborative and includes contributions from at least 38 individuals from eight different organizations both internal and external to NOAA.

In June of 2020 the CSCNS, in partnership with Unama’ki College at Cape Breton University launched the “The Decolonization Learning Journey” with 4 webinars. Join us for the final fourth series as we reflect on and connect our learnings.
This May, Series 4 will seek to answer the question: “Now What?” – Incorporating Reconciliation Learning into Our Work and Everyday Lives.
We will begin to reflect on our learning thus far. How are we unsettling and disrupting ourselves and our organizations? What steps can we take to create actionable change and how do we undertake the process of decolonizing – knowing that we’re not always going to get it right? In this series, we will hear from a host of Mi’kmaw Elders and knowledge sharers who will guide us in our reflection on action and relationships, as well as hear from Nova Scotia based nonprofits who have begun taking strides to make change at various levels.
Series 4 Schedule
This series is comprised of four (4) virtual sessions via Zoom scheduled for every Tuesday in May from 1:00-3:00pm (ADT).
Session 1: Tuesday, May 4th: “Decolonizing Education: Nourishing the Learning Spirit– with Dr. Marie Battiste.
Session 2: Tuesday, May 11th: “Reconciliation Action Acceleration: From Head, Heart and Hand”– with Annie Battiste.
Session 3: Tuesday, May 18th: “Knowledge Gardening / Stories from the Field: Reconciliation Action in NS Nonprofits”
Session 4: Tuesday, May 25th: “Going Forth”

Details
The 30×30 international marine conservation commitment aims to protect at least 30% of the world’s ocean by 2030 through representative and effective networks of marine protected areas (MPAs) that are fully or highly protected. Achieving this target would benefit marine biodiversity and the people who depend on healthy oceans as well as build ocean resilience to mitigate and adapt to a changing climate. Accurate reporting on progress toward 30×30 is vital and requires current and reliable information on protected area boundaries and regulations. This presentation is the first in a series focused on how the goal is being addressed in the United States. Speakers will provide background and context for the 30×30 initiative and highlight complementary efforts underway to catalog and classify MPAs. The MPA Guide provides clarity on what the term “protected” in MPAs really means, and ProtectedSeas’ Marine Managed Area data provides spatial data on regulations, allowing analysis of the cumulative contributions of different management authorities to the same ocean space. These efforts contribute to a more complete picture of the quality and quantity of US MPAs to help move the dial towards effective ocean protection in US waters.

SmartICE is an award winning technological innovation for the North. This project features the world’s first climate change adaption tool to integrate traditional knowledge of sea ice with advance date acquisition and remote monitoring technology. The SmartICE system combines these approaches to provide invaluable, data-driven insights into sea-ice thickness and local ice conditions, in near real time. This initiative embraces a business model that aims to expand opportunities for economic and social development in Northern markets while preserving local cultures and lifestyle.

Details
The Ocean Decade began on January 1, 2021 and Canada held its Launch Event on March 3, 2021, which provided an opportunity to share information about the Ocean Decade. Input from participants at the Launch Event outlined initial ideas to frame these efforts, and included feedback on how Canada could contribute leadership in advancing work of the Ocean Decade by leveraging our strengths and experiences. In particular, the principles of inclusivity, collaboration, and co-design were discussed. Additionally, during the March 3, 2021 event, interest was identified in the following areas: collaborative projects in the Arctic, the consideration of and inclusion of Indigenous knowledge, investments in youth and understanding the impacts of climate change.
This workshop is a follow-up from the Canadian Launch Event and aims to co-design a Canadian blueprint for the Ocean Decade that includes ocean science priorities and potential actions.
* In the context of the Ocean Decade ‘ocean science’ considers not only the natural sciences but also social sciences, Indigenous knowledge, technology development, local and experiential knowledge, the humanities, and policy.
Workshop Objective:
To co-design a blueprint that describes priority ocean science* themes and associated potential actions where the Canadian ocean community could make a unique contribution to the Ocean Decade. More specifically, this workshop will aim to achieve the following:
- Build a short list of ocean science priorities, knowledge gaps, and potential actions to support the seven Ocean Decade outcomes;
- Identify potential actions to address cross-cutting themes; and
- Build ambition and amplify engagement with the Canadian ocean community to generate support for the Ocean Decade.

Who this is for: Diverse and under-represented workers in Canada’s ocean technology industry
What we’ll do: It’s an informal chat in a safe space for peer-to-peer conversations about challenges in the industry.
This is an opportunity specifically for non-traditional and under-represented workers in Canada’s ocean technology industry to meet, discuss and network. These sessions will act as a peer mentorship group for those new to the ocean sector and/or existing individuals in the ocean economy looking for a group of peers to connect with. The goal for these informal chats are to help people in the ocean technology community feel supported and included. They are intended to create a safe space for peer-to-peer conversations about challenges in the industry.
Is there something you’d like to talk about? A situation you don’t know how to handle? Submit your anonymous question for the Ocean Allies Coffee Chat
Grab your favourite warm drink (coffee, tea, hot chocolate etc.) and join our simulated cafe experience to connect with your ocean tech peers!
The format of these events are meant to be casual, we will follow a general agenda:
- Introduction and welcome
- Break-out sessions to facilitate small group chats
- Return to main room for final discussion and summary

Details
The main goal of this project is to determine if diagenetic titania polymorphs can be used as a tool in tracking hydrocarbon migration in sedimentary basins. Titania (TiO2) occurs as three main polymorphs. Rutile is mostly pedogenic; anatase is prominent during eodiagenesis, particularly in lowstand systems tracts; and brookite is predominantly late mesodiagenetic. Ti, similar to V and Fe, can be readily mobilized when hydrocarbon-rich fluids are generated in sediments. Gas reservoirs in the Scotian Basin have common brookite, whereas the water intervals of reservoirs have anatase. Formation of brookite rather than anatase or rutile during mesodiagenesis may be due to the incorporation of V and Fe during hydrocarbon charge.

About this event
Join us at this month’s Ocean Connector as we talk to the team behind Stella Maris – Eastern Canada’s most versatile seabed technology platform. From creation to launch, Sheila, Bruce, Tom, and Jason take a deep dive into what it takes to build something so intricate, a unique testbed for marine instrumentation, and how important it is to have students in the COVE Internship Program involved in the process.
