17. Recommendations • Reinforce National Leadership for a horizontal initiative • Reinforce strong federal leadership • Engage provinces • Engage regions, communities, and industry • Build a truly national vision • Facilitate a strong S&T sector to give the tools and information to realize vision

18. Recommendations 2. Use SMART Ocean Management tools to coordinate multiple ocean uses • Co-ordinate across all ocean sectors for all ocean stakeholders – social, economic, environmental, and communities • Create a coordinated strategy for Implementation

19. Recommendations 3. Use a “Systems” Approach to Ocean Observation • Build a framework based on stakeholder requirements • Build the base data • Integrate information and facilitate access • Demonstrate decision assistance tools • Commercialize

20. Recommendations • Roll Out Lessons Learned • Roll out existing tools in regions • Expand existing initiatives in cost-effective and strategic manner • Initiate Pacific and Arctic demonstrations • Enable industry to innovate & commercialize

21. Recommendations 5. Develop OSTP as the facilitator for SMART ocean management • Build partnerships with governments, industry, academia, and communities • Advise stakeholders on S&T policies • Develop a detailed Canadian strategy

22. OSTP Next Steps • • Complete and deliver findings and advice to Government of Canada • With new funding OSTP can: • Create Secretariat • Expand stakeholder network • Develop detailed strategy • Assist in mobilizing resources

23. Proposed Investment 5 years • Total $75M investment by all partners • Co funded by StakeholdersFederal GovernmentProvincesIndustryAcademiaCommunities • Funding from new and existing sources • Funding provided to appropriate departments or stakeholders

24. Proposed Investment 5 Years • OSTP - $400K per year $ 2.0 MAn OSTP Secretariat will be established with a mandate to develop, promote and coordinate the OSTP network. A full time director and administrative support staff will be contracted. The Secretariat will provide the glue linking the regional and national networks for the Smart Ocean Management OOS strategy implementation. Tasks will include expansion and support of the network, promoting awareness, advocacy for Oceans S&T, as well as acting as a facilitator and national coordinator.

25. Proposed Investment 5 Years • Regional Demonstration OOSIt is recommended that the regional OOS initiatives supported in each of the five major marine regions of Canada. These initiatives will be governed by regional stakeholders through non-profit corporations.NW Atlantic $10.0 MSt Lawrence Global OOS $10.0 MGreat Lakes OOS $ 6.8 MPacific Gateway OOS $10.0 MArctic OOS $10.0 M

26. Proposed Investment 5 Years • International Partnerships $ 1.7 MOOS is an emerging sector that is build upon local, regional, and international partnerships. International cooperation with the US Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) and its eleven regional associations is a first priority, but other international partnerships that encourage technology use and cooperation worldwide will support commercialization of Canadian OOS technology

27. Proposed Investment 5 Years • National OOS Strategy $ 1.0 MTo implement the OOS vision there needs to be a detailed national strategy that can be used by all stakeholders in the sector to assist in planning and investing decisions. This strategy must cover the whole process from R&D through technology transfer, demonstration, and commercialization. The development of this strategy will be facilitated by OSTP with assistance from its network partners and Federal and Provincial departments and agencies. It is expected that the strategy will be completed in the first year but updated on a yearly basis

28. Proposed Investment 5 Years • Standards Development $ 2.0 MCanadian OOS standards committee made up of sector stakeholders. This committee will adopt and/or develop the standards needed for an operational OOS network across Canada. As Canada leads this effort the S&T sector will benefit by being able to develop interoperable products, processes, and services that can be marketed world wide

29. Proposed Investment 5 Years • Strategic Development & Commercialization $21.5 MFurther investment in research, development, and commercialization of OOS processes and technologies will be funded by federal agencies and industry. This investment will ensure that the key new sensors, platforms, software systems, support infrastructure are available in Canada from Canadian suppliers. In addition support for industry for commercialization of the technology will be provided. The National OOS strategy will identify which areas to support. Co-investing by government and industry will indicate where these investments should be made.

30. Q & A

31. OOS Market Study Ideas for Discussion • Partnerships • Technology and Infrastructure • Integration of Space and In-Situ Ocean Observations • New technologies • How to work with complex multi-agency government clients

32. Next Steps for Canadian Sector • Develop Canadian Sector Strategy • Focus on needed Technology • Develop OOS Standards • Develop Coordinated CDN OOS Networks • Build Partnerships worldwide • Canadian Commercialization Plan

33. Partnerships and Teaming • Partnerships are essential for OOS to develop into a viable market – “IOOS is still a nebulous concept for many people” • International collaborations – like “trying to herd cats”. • Finding the people is a challenge – the competition is intense • Developing IOOS-related partnerships with NASA is challenging – “IOOS is an operational effort, NASA is a research-orientated mission” 33

34. Technology and Infrastructure • A need to develop international ocean observing system standards • Infrastructure support is lagging • Development of "appropriate" technology is necessary • Data acquisition management & communications systems • Long-term reliability of sensors • Meteorological reference data in real time • Coastal zone observations require new products • Oceanographic sensors longer life and more reliable • “Biological & chemical sensors are the least advanced” 34

35. Key strategic considerations • Integrating space-based and in-situ observations – new technology is needed • Future technologies becoming reality – e.g. autonomous underwater & surface vessels. • Governments are the key clients • (EO satellite data revenues “78% of sales to Government and other public sector clients”. Booz, Allen and Hamilton survey 2004) 35

36. Make a Canadian Strategy • Develop a strategy to address the opportunities offered by the OOS market and the strengths and weaknesses of Canada in the sector: • Address the US market – as the world’s largest OOS market this demands specific study. • Consider how best to use Canada’s politically neutral image which could give marketing advantages in some countries. • Work at raising awareness of Canadian ocean technology. 36

37. Focus on Market Needs • Focus on identified technology needs: • Sensor accuracy, resolution, reliability, lifetime and cost, low maintenance costs. • Select a few sectors – carry out detailed market study on areas such as chemical and biochemical sensors and improvements to satellite-based sensors. • Low-cost platforms such as autonomous vehicles • Improvements in data transmission and management. • Develop OOS standards – could Canada take a lead? 37

38. OOS Market Study Ideas for Discussion • Partnerships • Technology and Infrastructure • Integration of Space and In-Situ Ocean Observations • New technologies • How to work with complex multi-agency government clients

39. Next Steps for Canadian Sector • Develop Canadian Sector Strategy • Focus on needed Technology • Develop OOS Standards • Develop Coordinated Cdn OOS Networks • Build Partnerships worldwide • Canadian Commercialization Plan
