COINAtlantic.ca - Reliable Access - Best Information - Informed Decisions

COINAtlantic is the name of the ACZISC's new website, a hub for Coastal and Ocean Information in Atlantic Canada!

The ACZISC was established in 1992 to foster cooperation in Atlantic Canada with regard to integrated coastal and ocean management (ICOM), coastal mapping and geomatics. It is a multi-sector forum with representation from government, industry, academia and non-governmental organizations. Learn more about the ACZISC in the About Us section.

The ACZISC is working to provide open access to data, information and applications relevant to Atlantic Canada through the Coastal and Ocean Information Network (COINAtlantic). Visit the About COINAtlantic page, and the Search Utility, Geocontent Generator, and Internet Visibility Initiative pages to learn more.

The ACZISC meets three times a year rotating the meetings between the provincial capitals of the Atlantic Provinces. For information about past and future meetings, visit the meetings page. Future meetings are listed in our calendar. The ACZISC also produces the report Coastal Activities in Atlantic Canada three times a year, and the monthly ACZISC Coastal Update e-newsletter.
