The government is working with Canada, Nova Scotia, Indigenous communities, academia and industry to support the development of maritime projects in the Gulf Fundy, providing financing a number of projects aimed at developing a surveillance platform for the environmental system near the maritime system.
On September 19, Honorary Codie Bloos, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, and Fisheries Minister Aizaz Joan Thomson announced more than $ 10 million for two projects through the Energy Innovation Program.
- Under the leadership of the Ocean Sensors Innovation Platform (OSIP) Fund Ocean Research Center for Energy Limited (Force)
- Under the leadership of Acadia University “minus passage, mines passing, minimizing uncertainty in the Gulf Fundi”
With the world’s highest maritime limit, the Gulf of Fundy has considerable potential through maritime energy. Through the OSIP, the force will develop environmental surveillance platforms that collect fish and ecosystem data. As a result, the data collected will inform regulators, investors and the public to advance maritime energy. Force for maritime technology is a private, non -profit research facility that is created to better understand how marine technology can play its role in Canada’s clean energy future.
The northeast faces separate challenges, including transporting electricity, aging infrastructure, renewable integration, grid modernization, and rapidly severe weather. Detich Northeast will combine leading stakeholders to deal with these issues, which will provide the insights of modern technologies and strategies that ensure reliable, stability and consumer satisfaction.

“Companies from all over the world want to invest in Nova Scotia’s maritime sector because they see innovation, green energy and long -term economic growth potential,” said Julie Vankson.
MLA Kings South by Nova Scottia Minister Trevor Bodrio. “Through this partnership between the force and the academia, we will have surveillance data that regulators, investors and the public can trust it because our green economy increases by pushing the sector forward.”
The University of Acadia will develop fish detection studies and fish movement models and monitoring methods to inform the interactions of interactions between fish and maritime energy equipment.
In June 2023, the Task Force launched a sustainable maritime energy development in the Gulf Fund through the NRCAN and the Department of Fisheries and Ocean (DFO), with members of Nova Scotia, Force and Marine Renewable sources Canada.
The NRCANN provided $ 10.7 million with support of its Energy Innovation Program (EIP) and DFO for both projects, worth more than $ 1.4 million for Acadia University.
