This dataset is collected using a 3 metre tall, 1 metre in diameter meteorological/oceanographic buoy from Xeos Technologies Inc., of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The buoy is deployed in Jordan Bay, Nova Scotia. It measures wave data (Maximum Wave Height, Significant Wave Height, Peak Wave Period, Mean Wave Direction, and Mean Wave Spread) using a Brizo wave sensor manufactured by Xeos, sea temperature using a T Node sensor, and meteorological data (Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Air Pressure, Humidity, Air Temperature, Rain Intensity, and Hail Intensity) using Vaisala sensors. The data is streamed to CIOOS every 20 minutes. The data will be used to support science-based decision making and advancement of Nova Scotia's coastal resources.

The WaterSat Imaging Spectrometer Experiment (WISE) is developed for optically shallow inland and coastal waters assessment. The WISE-Man project objective was to demonstrate the potential of hyperspectral imagery for mapping bathymetry, water column quality (or inherent optical properties) and retrieve bottom properties in order to respond to the pressing needs of science (e.g. ecology, geomorphology, coastal risk), resource management and defence operation. Within the framework of WISE-Man, an intensive fieldwork campaign was conducted in the Manicouagan; Baie-Comeau region in August 2019.

The identity and abundance of individual benthic macrofauna (individual > 2 cm) were quantified across six survey areas located along the coast of Placentia Bay, a southern embayment of the Island of Newfoundland. From early 2019 to mid 2020, surveys were conducted at point-wise locations using a drop-camera to observe the seafloor. In total, 282 drop-camera transects were obtained, each consisting of 2 continuous minutes of video set roughly 1 - 2 meters above the seafloor. The project is led by the *School of Ocean Technology Fisheries and Marine Institute* of Memorial University of Newfoundland: You can find more information on the website of [**4D Oceans Lab**](https://www.4d -oceans.com/).

Despite its many natural habitats housing a multitude of living organisms and offering various uses to the community, the Betsiamites River estuary undergoes anthropogenic actions that alter its quality of life.

In order to acquire data in order to better target habitat protection needs, AMIK commissioned an analysis on surface water and sediments. Although surface sediments do not indicate a danger to living organisms in the estuary, the results obtained for surface water appear to be more worrying. Therefore, it becomes urgent to take measures aimed at restoring or maintaining the state of health of the estuary.

This project was funded by the Coastal Environmental Baseline Program under Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Oceans Protection Plan (OPP).
Données satellitaires de chlorophylle-a pour l'estuaire et le golfe du St-Laurent, Chlorophyll-a Satellite Data for the Estuary and the Gulf of St. Lawrence

Keywords: oceanColour, télédétection, chlorophylle a, Oceans, remote sensing, phytoplancton, Couleur des océans, chlorophyll a, phytoplankton
Temporal coverage: 1997-09-04/..

The colour of seawater, seen from space, is used to estimate the chlorophyll content in the water. This pigment is an index of the biomass of microscopic algae. Compared to the Atlantic Ocean, the waters of the Estuary and the Gulf of St. Lawrence are rather isolated and are strongly mixed with fresh water from many rivers. 

The method for retrieving chlorophyll must be adapted to these specificities. This dataset presents the result of a method developed to find the concentration of chlorophyll-a derived by various satellites (5) in the estuary and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The two satellites (AQUA and VIIRS) are still active and collect daily data. 

This project is part of the Coastal Environmental Baseline Program Initiative under the Oceans Protection Plan of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

Keywords: integrated management, sustainable use, utilisation durable, habitats importance, gestion intégrée, Autre, Oceans, important habitats, other
Temporal coverage: 2001-09-01/2003-05-31

The purpose of this project is to promote the protection, enhancement and sustainable use of the resources of forest and aquatic wildlife habitats in the bay and Laval river areas. This approach follows the acquisition of knowledge of 13 sites of ecological interest, the results of which can be found in the Intervention guide for the protection and enhancement of coastal habitats of interest. Of all the habitats in the lower estuary, the relative ecological importance of the Laval bay area was considered to be very high. In view of the presence of several species of fish of interest in the bay and the Laval river, including salmon, sea trout and smelt, one of the most important clam production areas in Quebec, Important colonies of birds on Laval island, which has been granted wildlife sanctuary status, and a significant concentration of migratory birds. 

The project also aims to improve the current situation by involving local stakeholders including residents, users and resource persons from different ministries and institutions in an integrated resource management approach.

Between October 2017 and October 2019, underway surface water measurements were collected from the Alaska Marine Highway System M/V Columbia during 135 service route transits. The service route of the Columbia included the ports of Sitka, Juneau, Haines, Skagway, Wrangell, Petersburg, and Ketchikan in southeast Alaska, and between Ketchikan and Bellingham, WA. The vessel sailed south from Ketchikan every Wednesday, arrived in Bellingham on Friday, returned to Ketchikan on Sunday, and transited between southeast Alaska terminals between Sunday and Wednesday. Measurements of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen content, and CO2 partial pressure were made every 2 mins on seawater drawn into the vessel from a ~2 m intake. Seawater was delivered from the intake to analytical equipment on the car deck using a AMT 1/2 HP pump (4295-98). Temperature and salinity data were collected using a Sea-Bird SBE 45 MicroTSG Thermosalinograph, and intake temperature measured using a SBE 38 Digital Oceanographic Thermometer. Dissolved oxygen content was determined using an Aanderaa 4330F that had undergone multipoint calibration at the factory in Norway. CO2 measurements were made using a General Oceanics 8050 (GO8050) pCO2 Measuring System equipped with a LI-COR LI840A non-dispersive infrared detector. All data streams, including GPS information from an antenna and atmospheric pressure from a Vaisala barometer positioned on the foredeck, were captured by the GO8050 control computer. Atmospheric CO2 measurements were also made using the GO8050 on unaltered marine air drawn to the system through an intake located on the foredeck. The CO2 measurement scheme involved the analysis of four gas standards of known CO2 content (150 ppm, 349 ppm, 449 ppm, and 850 ppm; Praxair Distributions Inc), 12 analyses atmospheric CO2, and 240 seawater CO2 measurements in a 8.5 hour period. The atmospheric and seawater CO2 analyses were run in a sequence of 3 atmospheric measurements and 60 seawater measurements that was repeated 4 times between standardization. This project was supported by the Tula Foundation and Alaska Ocean Observing System, and was a collaborative effort between the Hakai Institute, University of Washington Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean/NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, State of Alaska Department of Transportation, University of Alaska Southeast Alaska Coastal Rainforest Center, and the Alaska Ocean Observing System.
