Using Technology to Protect Our Ocean

Technology plays a vital role in monitoring ocean health through the Pollution Tracker program. This initiative collects and analyzes data on pollutants in British Columbia’s coastal waters, using tools like EarthSoft’s EQuIS™ and Power BI to create visual reports. These resources help identify pollution hotspots, enabling quicker responses to environmental threats. They also assist in understanding how pollutants interact with ocean activities, which is important for future conservation efforts.
