	Hydrography
		The establishment of national hydrographic departments in France (1720) and Great Britain (1795) was important to Canada, as early surveys of the Canadian coast were conducted by these agencies, with contributions by the Spanish on the Pacific coast.
		In the Arctic, early hydrographic knowledge was gained from the explorations for the British navy of William Edward PARRY and John FRANKLIN, and from those who came in search of Franklin in the latter part of the 19th century.
		Hydrographic surveyors are usually graduates of technical survey courses or university mathematics or engineering programs who receive special training, often from the CHS.

	Canadian Hydrographic Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) is Canada's hydrographic office, with responsibility for performing hydrographic surveys and publishing paper and electronic nautical charts.
		Surveying and charting was extended to Canada's Pacific coast in 1891, tidal and current metering nationwide began in 1893, surveying and charting extended to the Maritimes by 1905, and water level gauging of the Great Lakes began in 1912.
		CHS is one of the only hydrographic offices in the world with the capability to undertake Arctic surveying, frequently operating in waters which are frozen between 10-12 months of the year.

	CHS: World Hydrography Day
		The International Hydrographic Organization is an intergovernmental consultative and technical organization that was established in 1921 to support safety in navigation and the protection of the marine environment.
		The interests of the Canadian hydrographer and the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) are to produce and promote navigational information in order to protect lives, property, and the marine environment.
		CHS is mandated through several legislated acts to collect, compile, publish, and distribute hydrographic charts and related nautical publications to facilitate safe and efficient navigation throughout Canadian and adjacent international navigable waters.

	Applications of MultiBeam Data (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		From a hydrographic perspective, this sort of rendering is extremely effective when wishing to visualize and plan the coverage of a survey, quickly see problem areas in the data and to show the general nature of the seafloor.
		IHO definition of Hydrographic Surveys: - Hydrography is the science of measuring and depicting those parameters necessary to describe the precise nature and configuration of the seabed, its geographical relationship to the landmass, and the characteristics and dynamics of the sea.
		Among the most important applications of hydrographic knowledge is its use in the planning of exploration and exploitation of marine resources, the determination of seaward limits of national jurisdiction, and the delimitation of maritime boundaries.

	Bedford Institute of Oceanography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Established in 1962 as Canada's first, and currently largest, federal centre for oceanographic research, BIO derives its name from the Bedford Basin, an inland bay comprising the northern part of Halifax Harbour, upon which it is located.
		Spread out over 40 acres (160,000 m²) of former Canadian Navy land near Shannon Park in Dartmouth, BIO consists of a series of interconnected buildings housing research labs and offices, as well as docks for Canadian Coast Guard and MARCOM research vessels.
		As the federal government seeks to concentrate its operations in the Halifax Regional Municipality, BIO is being considered for additional office buildings to house other non-oceanographic and non-research organizations and their employees.

	History of CHS
		In March 1904, hydrographic units in the Department of Public Works and Railways and Canals, were transferred to the Department of Marine and Fisheries, and then the amalgamated with its 'Great Lakes Survey' to become the Hydrographic Survey of Canada, or the Canadian Hydrographic Survey.
		The first Canadian publication from Canadian resurveys was Chapter One of the 'Georgian Bay and North Channel Pilot' written by Commander Boulton, and issued to the public by the Department of Marine and Fisheries before navigation opened on the Great Lakes in 1885.
		What was more significant were the techniques and practices of hydrographic surveying Commander Boulton passed on to his successors, practices that were 'norms' for the Hydrographic Service until the gasoline launch was introduced in 1924; and the gyroscope compass and echo-sounder since 1928.

	Canadian Coast Guard - Aids to Navigation Program
		The Canadian Coast Guard is responsible for the provision of aids to navigation in Canadian waters with the exception of waterways such as the Trent Severn and Rideau waterways, which are served by Parks Canada.
		The Canadian Coast Guard recommends that vessels depending on aids to navigation be equipped with searchlights to enable them to make use of this reflective material when necessary.
		Canadian aids to navigation are designed and positioned in consideration of expected vessel speeds and thus, cannot be expected to perform up to expectations in situations involving excessive speed.
