Tender: Coastal Imaging and Habitat Mapping of Southern Nova Scotia Shoreline Using ShoreZone Protocol

About

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is seeking a supplier for coastal imaging services to expand existing coastal habitat datasets in southern Nova Scotia in support of the Canadian Coast Guard’s Area Response Planning (ARP) initiative under the Oceans Protection Plan (OPP) 2.0. The project will apply imaging methodologies consistent with the ShoreZone Coastal Imaging and Habitat Mapping Protocol (Cook et al., 2017) to acquire coastal imagery and video along approximately 1,750 km of Nova Scotia coastline, beginning near Lobster Bay and extending northward toward Halifax; the resulting data will support oil spill preparedness, planning and response by improving the availability of geographically specific coastal habitat information. Contractors must conduct all imaging and video collection in accordance with the ShoreZone protocol and the requirements specified in the solicitation documents.
