Description
The Marine Environmental Observation, Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR), a Network of Centres of Excellence (NCE) is accepting proposals for prototype regional associations that will contribute to a Canadian Integrated Ocean Observing System (CIOOS).
A CIOOS, built through a public, private and academic partnership, will bring together and leverage existing Canadian and International ocean observation data/programs/projects. It will generate value-added data products on an open web-based platform that maximizes utility to end-users and provide timely access to a broad range of environmental information.
This Request relates to the initial two-year pilot phase as the basis for establishing a sustained national approach.
