FUTURE OCEAN & COASTAL INFRASTRUCTURES

Designing, safe, sustainable and inclusive coastal communities & industries for Atlantic Canada

Future Ocean and Coastal Infrastructures (FOCI) is a collaborative research project with the overall objective to identify and address diverse infrastructure needs, problems and opportunities in support of sustainable, safe and inclusive coastal communities and ocean industries in Atlantic Canada. Supported primarily by the Ocean Frontier Institute (OFI), FOCI brings together academic, government, business, non-profit, and Indigenous community partners focused on understanding key aspects of ocean and ecosystem change and developing strategic and effective solutions that can be applied both locally and globally.
