Designating marine protected areas (MPAs) is an increasingly utilized policy instrument for preserving marine ecosystems and biological diversity while also allowing for sustainable use. However, designation is only the first step and cannot be successful without monitoring mechanisms to drive an effective and adaptive management plan. This article discusses the use of the NEPTUNE real-time seafloor observatory—originally desi...

Fisheries bycatch impacts marine species globally and understanding the underlying ecological and behavioural mechanisms could improve bycatch mitigation and forecasts in novel conditions. Oceans are rapidly warming causing shifts in marine species distributions with unknown, but likely, bycatch consequences. We examined whether thermal and diel depth‐use behaviours influenced bycatch of a keystone species (Chinook salmon; Onc...

Over fifteen years ago, Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) began with the world’s first large-scale, interactive, real-time portal into the ocean, bringing continuous, real-time data to the surface for applications in scientific research, societal benefits, and supporting Canada’s ocean industry. This marked the dawn of the Internet-connected ocean, enabling a more fulsome understanding of the ocean through ocean intelligence. These...

This study provides dissolved and particulate 230Th and 232Th results as well as particulate 234Th data collected during expeditions to the central Arctic Ocean (GEOTRACES, an international project to identify processes and quantify fluxes that control the distributions of trace elements; sections GN04 and GIPY11). Constructing a time series of dissolved 230Th from 1991 to 2015 enables the identification of processes that cont...
