Our funding comes from various sources, including the National Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Nippon Foundation through the Ocean Nexus Centre, and from the Ocean Frontier Institute (OFI) through a Canada First Excellence Research Fund.
We also work with philanthropic organizations, industry associations, and communities.
