Breaking Down Technical Barriers, Advancing AI Literacy, Fostering Collaborative Innovation

You’re collecting more ocean data than ever, but they're piling up and getting harder to act in a timely way.

Across Canada’s ocean sector, data are growing faster than teams can manage it. While Artificial Intelligence is being touted as a solution, it's hard to know how to make use of it when you don’t have the time, resources, or confidence to apply it in ways that move your work forward.

In the Building Bridges Community, we understand that challenge and are here to make AI usable for the people working hard to collect ocean insights and turn them into action.

Building Bridges Between Ocean Data and Ocean Action

At Building Bridges, we know that AI is a promising solution to the data backlog. But we also know how challenging it can be to keep up with the speed of AI without getting lost in the weeds.

That’s why we’ve built a space where ocean professionals, researchers, and innovators can explore and apply AI together.

Led by CIOOS and national partners, Building Bridges is a community that connects Canada’s ocean sector with the tools, knowledge, and collaboration needed to make using AI approachable, ethical, and actionable.
