Activities

IOI-Canada is a leading member of the International Ocean Institute's network of centres and focal points operating worldwide in about 30 countries.  Its mission is to promote responsible ocean governance and the stewardship and sustainable use of coastal and ocean resources in Canada and around the world.  It aims to encourage and develop the potential and capacity of individuals, institutions and communities to foster:

• a network of individuals dedicated to effective coastal and ocean governance;
• a network of institutions devoted to coastal and ocean governance, management, education, training, research and outreach; and,
• sustainable and prosperous coastal communities.

IOI-Canada accomplishes its mission and goals through three main activities: education and training, collaborative research and outreach.  Its principal focus is a two-month interdisciplinary training programme held annually since its initiation in 1981 by IOI's founder, Elisabeth Mann Borgese,
