Dive into the newly enhanced Ocean Canada Map app and explore marine conservation areas in Canada like never before. Using augmented reality (AR) and immersive 360° videos, the ocean, coastal areas, and keystone diverse species are brought to life—right from your device. Discover how people across the country are working together to protect the waters that sustain us all. Take an immersive deep dive into two of Canada’s Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). On the Pacific coast explore the deep-sea habitats of the hydrothermal vents of the Tang.gwan--hacxwiqak--Tsigis MPA. Or descend into The Gully, a deep-sea canyon off the Atlantic coast. AR enables us to experience these hidden environments, coming face to face with some of the unique species that call these places home. Through additional ‘mini’ AR experiences, learn about the diverse habitats of the other MPAs and National Marine Conservation Areas across Canada and the people who help to protect them. These areas are further brought to life by a collection of 360° videos from Ocean School at the National Film Board of Canada and from Parks Canada, including imagery from some of Canada’s national parks that border coastal areas and major waterways. Available in English, French, and Inuktitut, the Ocean Canada Map app offers an engaging and accessible way to connect with Canada’s oceanic waters and marine conservation efforts from the dry comfort of your home, classroom, business, or community gathering. What are you waiting for? Dive in! The Ocean Canada Map app and the physical giant floor map program are part of a national collaboration led by the Canadian Ocean Literacy Coalition, empowering people in Canada to better understand, value, and care for the ocean.
