Southern California Marine Institute

Transcription

The Marine Institute is quite unique. It's Canada's largest marine institute. The largest in North America and we do specialize training research and development for the oil gas, the fisheries sectors, marine transportation sectors, totally focused on the ocean. It's a institution that separates itself and it's distinguished by it's connections to industry. So for fifty years we built the capacity in people to service these industries. We have done the very applied research using our 150 million dollars in research facilities now we have the opportunity to take it to another level. The Marine Institute is focused on fisheries and aquaculture research with three research centers. We also have marine transportation research capabilities particularly in marine simulation. We have ocean technology in a number different areas and we're building a capacity in research in ocean safety. The Strategic Research Intensity Plan offers an incredible opportunity from The Marine Institute to take its research this very applied research with industry that's very good and to move it from good to great. We need to be good in a regional context and national context but the opportunity to be the best in the world at the areas that we service the industry and the areas we conduct research is right before us.
