Canadian Ocean Mapping Research and Innovation (COMRI)

Canadian Ocean Mapping Research and Innovation (COMRI) is a program that advances the science and technology of mapping Canada's ocean floors. Through innovative research, it improves the accuracy and detail of seabed charts, which are essential for navigation, resource management, environmental protection, and understanding marine ecosystems. COMRI collaborations involve government, industry, and academia to develop new tools like advanced sonar and autonomous vehicles, ensuring safer maritime operations and sustainable ocean use. Ultimately, it enhances Canada's ability to explore, monitor, and protect its vast and complex marine environments.
