Blue economy

With the world’s longest coastline and fourth largest ocean territory, Canada has a vested interest in growing the blue economy, improving sustainability and protecting the ocean’s resources for generations to come. To inform decision-making processes and drive growth, data sciences are being integrated into every blue economy sector, including shipping, fisheries, marine renewable energy, waste management and tourism. As a result, the demand for skilled workers trained in data analytics with a focus on ocean data is on the rise. 

Our offering is designed to help you build your analytics knowledge and create solutions for sustainable-equitable development and management of blue economy conservation, marine biodiversity and natural resources.  

You have the option to take courses individually or in succession to complete a credential.  

Canada’s ocean economy accounts for $31.7 billion annually in gross domestic product and almost 300,000 jobs in fisheries and aquaculture, energy, shipping, tourism and recreation.
