Since 2000, University of Victoria has led the development of a world-leading ocean observatory. Federal, BC Government, UVic and partner funding has supported the staged construction and operation of the VENUS and NEPTUNE Canada cabled networks. In 2007, Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) was established by UVic to oversee the management, development and operations. A federal centre of excellence for commercialization and research the ONC Centre for Enterprise and Engagement (ONCCEE) was added in 2009 to strengthen the technology development and outreach programs. VENUS and NEPTUNE Canada now operate as integrated networks of the ONC Observatory supporting a new generation of coastal and deep ocean research. With a 25+ year operating life cycle, the ONC Observatory enables transformative ocean research and technology development through an innovative cabled infrastructure that supplies continuous power and Internet connectivity to a broad suite of novel subsea instrumentation in coastal and deep-ocean environments.
