The Province of Nova Scotia recognizes the importance of coastal waters, critical to the prosperity and sustainability of rural and coastal communities. To bridge the gap between science and decision making, the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture (NSDFA) partners with the Centre for Marine Applied Research (CMAR) to measure the environmental conditions of Nova Scotia’s coastal waters.

Current speed and direction time series data collected in a vertical profile at various locations throughout the coastal waters of Victoria County.

Current data from Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) deployed in the county. Data are part of the Centre for Marine Applied Research’s Coastal Monitoring Program. The figure shows the daily average values of sea_water_speed_m_s for the waterbody and station selected from the dropdown filters on the right.
The filtered dataset can be exported using the “Export” button on the right.

Oceanographic data from sensor strings deployed in Victoria County as part of the Centre for Marine Applied Research's (CMAR) Coastal Monitoring Program.

Temperature data from the Centre for Marine Applied Research's (CMAR) Coastal Monitoring Program. The original dataset includes data measured on intervals of 1 minute to 1 hour. The figure shows the daily average values for the waterbody, station, depth, time period, and quality control flags selected from the dropdown filters. The filtered dataset can be exported using the “Export” button on the right.
