The federal government is investing nearly $115 million over six years in an nationwide ocean observation program based at the University of Victoria.

The investment, announced Friday, will support the continued operation of UVic's Ocean Networks Canada initiative, which the university says will "help drive climate change solutions, safer coastal communities, Indigenous ocean data stewardship, a healthier ocean and a sustainable blue economy."

“Through this investment, we’re supporting our world-class research facilities that drive innovation and the researchers who are making important discoveries across the country," said François-Philippe Champagne, Canada's minister of innovation, science and industry, in a news release. Ocean Networks Canada has installations and partnerships with local residents and Indigenous groups on all three of Canada's coasts, according to UVic.
