A new feature introduced in this edition is a section containing four essays: The HUDSON 70 Expedition by C.R. Mann Earth Sciences Studies in Arctic Marine Waters, 1970 by B.R. Pelletier Analysis of Marine Ecosystems by K.H. Mann Operation Oil by C.S. Mason and Wm. L. Ford They serve as an overview of the focal interests of the past two years in contrast to the body of the Review, which is basically a series of individual progress reports. The search for petroleum on the continental shelves of Eastern Canada and Arctic intensified considerably with several drilling rigs and many geophysical exploration teams in the field. To provide a regional depository for the mandatory core samples required from all drilling, the first stage of a core storage and archival laboratory was completed in 1970. This new addition to the Institute is operated by the Resource Administration Division of the Department of Energy, Mines & Resources. In a related move the Geological Survey of Canada undertook to establish at the Institute a new team whose primary function will be the stratigraphic mapping of the continental shelf. The initial staffing of these two units totals 16 persons. The current awareness of the need to protect our environment by combating pollution has generated a need for more research into the quality of the environment. Although this need arose at a time of general financial stringency, the Fisheries Research Board, by readjust- ment of priorities and reallocation of resources, was able to approve a new environmental quality program for the Marine Ecology Labora- tory. This has involved an increase of 16 in the permanent staff, a complex of 10 new large laboratory trailers, and a doubling of the facilities at the Institute for holding fish and other marine organisms in temperature controlled running water. These new Marine Ecology Laboratory facilities also house a small component of 9 scientists from the Resource Development Branch of the Department of Fisheries and Forestry, who are associated with the pollution studies. v The Institute was host to several thousand visitors - scientific, business, government and general public. It was our privilege to welcome many distinguished visitors including: The Honourable J.J. Greene, Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources who officiated at both the departure and return home of CSS HUDSON on her expedition around the Americas; Mr. Adolph W. Schmidt, Ambassador of the United States of America; His Excellency Boris Miroshnichenko, Ambassador of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; Monsieur R. C. Chauvin, Director, Centre Océanolgie de Bretagne, Brest; Rear Admiral G.S. Ritchie, Hydrographer of the Royal Navy; Dr. G. Grasshof, Institute für Meerskunde, Kiel; Dr. Erhhi Polosuv, Institute of Marine Research, Helsinki; Dr. Allan Be, Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory, New York; Dr. Bostwick H. Ketchum, Associate Director, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; Dr. C.C. Bates, Chief Scientist, United States Coast Guard; Dr. Panteleev, Chief Scientist and party on the occasion of the visit to Halifax of the RV AKADEMIK VERNADSKY, March 1970; members of two committees of the House of Commons, the Standing Committee on External Affairs and National Defence, October, 1969 and the Parliamentary Committee on National Re- sources and Public Works, April, 1970. Organizationally the Institute is a loose grouping of laboratories having, as their common focus, scientific research and surveys in the marine environment and sharing such common use facilities as buildings, ships, computers, and scientific information and library services. It has engendered a healthy degree of cooperation and coordination. We anticipate that new opportunities to further strengthen this concept of an inter-agency marine research community will arise out of the creation of a Department of the Environment, legislation for which was under consideration in the House of Commons at the end of 1970. The proposed legislation became law in due course and was promulgat- ed June 11, 1971. The new Department is a consolidation of a number of elements of the federal service concerned with the management of the air, water, fish, wildlife, and forest resources of the nation. Among the numerous changes brought about by the reorganization is the transfer of the Marine Sciences Branch, and hence the Atlantic Oceanographic Laboratory from the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources to the new Department. However, the Marine Geology and Geophysics sections of Atlantic Oceanographic Laboratory were re- tained in Energy, Mines and Resources but as part of the Institute. The new designation for AOL is: Atlantic Oceanographic Laboratory Marine Sciences Branch Water Management Service Department of the Environment. vi While the Fisheries Research Board is included in the new Department, its identity as a Board is retained; hence no new designation of the Marine Ecology Laboratory is required. Since the Review deals with a period that precedes the formal establishment of the new Department, the organizational affiliations then in being are used throughout the text. Wm. L.

  • 1. Canadian Marine SCIENCE from Before Titanic to the Establishment of the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in 1962 Eric L. Mills
    HISTORICAL ROOTS 1. CANADIAN MARINE SCIENCE FROM BEFORE TITANIC TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE BEDFORD INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY IN 1962 Eric L. Mills SUMMARY Beginning in the early 1960s, the Bedford Institute of Oceanography consolidated marine sciences and technologies that had developed separately, some of them since the late 19th century. Marine laboratories, devoted mainly to marine biology, were established in 1908 in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, and Nanaimo, British Columbia, and it was in them that Canada’s first studies in physical oceanography began in the early 1930s and became fully established after World War II. Charting and tidal observation developed separately in post-Confederation Canada, beginning in the last two decades of the 19th century, and becoming united in the Canadian Hydrographic Service in 1924. For a number of scientific and political reasons, Canadian marine sciences developed most rapidly after World War II (post-1945), including work in the Arctic, the founding of graduate programs in oceanography on both Atlantic and Pacific coasts, the reorientation of physical oceanography from the federal Fisheries Research Board to the federal Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, increased work on marine geology and geophysics, and eventually the founding of the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, which brought all these fields together. Key words: Canadian marine science, Atlantic and Pacific biological stations, charting, tides, hydrography, post-World War II developments, origin of BIO. E-mail: [email protected] The Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO) opened formally in 1962 Europe decades before. The result, achieved with the help of university (Fig. 1), bringing together scientists and technologists who had worked in biologists, was an organizational structure, the Board of Management of fields as diverse as physical oceanography, hydrographic charting, marine the Biological Station (became the Biological Board of Canada in 1912), geology, and marine ecology.

  • Circulation of Surface Waters in Parts of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago Based on Foraminiferal Evidence'
    Circulation of Surface Waters in Parts of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago Based on Foraminiferal Evidence' G. VILKS2 ABSTRACT. Planktonic foraminifera are present both in bottom sediments and surface waters on theshelf area averaging 400 metres in depth to the west of a line between Cape MClure and Cape Meecham, but in M'Clure Strait proper to the east of this line in the surface waters only. The evidence is used to suggest a slow net eastward movement of water from the ocean through MClure Strait in the past with increased ratesat the present time. RÉSUMÉ. La circulation des eaux de surface dans certaines parties de l'archipel arctique canadien, d'après l'étude des foraminifères. Dans la zone du plateau, d'une profondeur moyenne de 400 mètres, à l'Ouestd'une ligne tirée entre le cap de MClure et le cap de Meecham, les foraminifères planctoniques sont présents B la fois dans les sédiments du fond et dans les eaux de surface; mais à l'Est de cette ligne, dans le détroit de M'Clure proprement dit, on ne les trouve que dans les eaux de surface. Cet indice suggère, pour lepassé, un mouvement net des eaux de l'océan vers l'Est, B travers le détroit de MClure, avec des taux accrus dans le présent. PE3IOME.

  • Convoy Cup Mini-Offshore Race September 12, 2020
    Notice of Race Convoy Cup Mini-Offshore Race September 12, 2020 1. Organizing Authority: These races are hosted by the Dartmouth Yacht Club of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. 2. Objectives: The Convoy Cup Ocean Race offers racing and cruising yachts an opportunity to participate in an ocean race to commemorate the links that formed between the province of Nova Scotia and the countries of Europe during the two world wars. Halifax was the congregation point for hundreds of naval vessels and supply ships that formed convoys to transport the necessities of life across the Atlantic Ocean; this race is dedicated to the memory of all those men and women in the navy and merchant marine service who sailed in those convoys. 3. Rules: Racing will be governed by the Racing Rules of Sailing 2017-2020 (RRS), the prescriptions of the Canadian Yachting Association and this Notice of Race except as modified by the Sailing Instructions. Dartmouth Yacht Club Race Committee (RC) will have final authority on all matters. 4. Description: Normally the Convoy Cup is an overnight 100 n/m ocean race and a Basin Race is also held. This season is quite different due to the COVID 19 pandemic so the event this year has been changed to a mini-offshore race. The Convoy Cup Mini-Offshore Race will be comprised of 1 race of approximately 30 n/m (course and distances may be adjusted according to forecast winds and conditions). 5. Start date, course and finish: The races will commence September 12, 2020 at 1200 at a start line established between the Navy Island buoy HY2 (Mark 11on the DYC course card) and the RC flag on the Race Committee boat passing either side of George’s Island outbound only, and proceeding to HB, port rounding and return keeping George’s Island to starboard, to finish at the CSS Acadia dock, at in a line projected from the edge of the wharf, which is closest to the Last Steps Memorial.
