To support the participation of Indigenous peoples in activities relating to theconservation and protection of fish and fish habitat, including the development of theDepartment of Fisheries and Oceans' (DFO) policies, program elements and regulationsand the development of their technical capacity to support greater involvement in the conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat.

The purpose of the Small Craft Harbours Class Contribution Program (SCH-CCP) is to support the acquisition, development, construction, improvement or repair as well as the management, maintenance, safety and accessibility of eligible fishing and recreational harbours.

Canada's Fisheries Fund will transform and drive innovation in the fish and seafood sector in Canada with a focus on developing the sector to better meet growing market demands for sustainably sourced, high-quality fish and seafood products.

The upper-troposphere and lower-stratosphere (UTLS) is a critical atmospheric region that influences the Earth climate. However, the thermodynamic conditions in this region are insufficiently observed and poorly simulated in current weather and climate models. In this project, we will integrate the measurements of Canadian and international satellites to better understand the distribution of clouds, temperature and water vapor and their co-variabilities in the UTLS region and incorporate the observational constraints in the modeling process to improve the simulations of the Canadian models. The research will help improve Canada's ability of climate and weather prediction and support the development of future satellite missions.

Air pollution regulations have led to dramatic reductions in emissions of CO and NOx, but studies using atmospheric observations to quantify these reductions produce a wide range of emission estimates. The proposed project will use a multi-model and multi-sensor approach to quantify potential sources of discrepancies that contribute to uncertainty in the emission estimates. The project will focus on using space-based measurements to better quantify emissions of CO globally and of NOx in North America. Improved estimates of the emissions of CO and NOx are critical for assessing the effectiveness of air pollution regulations.

The proposed project will use satellite measurements from OSIRIS and ACE-FTS in combination with simulations from the Canadian Earth system model to understand lower stratospheric ozone changes and driving forces.
