| Summary: | A bringing together of the scientific community to focus research on marine biodiversity in Canada's three oceans The National Advisory Group on Marine Biodiversity (Appendix I) envisages a response from scientists, scientific organisations and governments to this vision statement. Our goal is to increase our knowledge of marine biodiversity in Canada at all levels of organization (e.g., genes, populations, species and communities) in our territorial waters of the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. This vision embodies: A census of marine life as well as an understanding of the processes that influence biodiversity Given the vastness of our submarine landscape, this mission can only be met through a concerted national endeavour that is closely allied with the global Census of Marine Life. |
