We are in the age of climate change and our environment is feeling the impacts from it. The Maritime Museum of British Columbia and Ocean Networks Canada plan to work together to raise awareness and to educate the public about the ocean and ocean technology in Canada.
David Leverton, the Executive Director of the Maritime Museum of British Columbia (MMBC) -
"this is an exciting development for us at a time when we are trying to expand our operations to not only serve the citizens of Greater Victoria but also fellow Canadians in other parts of the province and country. We live in an unparalleled time in the history of our planet and our country when our environment is feeling the impacts of climate change. Anything we can do to increase public awareness about the importance of studying and protecting our ocean environments is in the interest of everyone who cares about life on Earth. Canada has the longest coastline of any country and is bordered by three oceans, which makes this a very big job. We are pleased to be able to work together on this important endeavour."
Maia Hoeberechts, Associate Director, Learning and Community Engagement. -
“Ocean Networks Canada partners with museums and public engagement organizations across the country to increase ocean literacy and share the power of ocean technology to help us better understand the ocean environment. We look forward to new opportunities through this collaboration with the Maritime Museum.”
