JUNE 8

WORLD OCEANS DAY

TECHNOLOGY TUESDAY

There are hundreds of amazing new technologies that are helping humans to explore, understand, and improve how we use ocean resources.

#oceansweekvictoria

Daily Action Goals

Ask yourself: What kind of ocean focused technology would improve how we interact with the ocean? Does it already exist, and if so, who is creating it?

Head to @oceansweekvictoria on Instagram to learn about some amazing resources about ocean technology right on Vancouver Island!

Share your own with the #oceansweekvictoria.
