Tender Details

Background

Biofouling is the process by which organisms accumulate on surfaces submerged in water, such as ship hulls. This phenomenon can have significant ecological and economic impacts, as it can facilitate the spread of non-native species, alter marine ecosystems, and increase fuel consumption and emissions of ships. Commercial ships are particularly suitable for sampling biofouling organisms, as they travel to different parts of the world, often stopping at ports and other aquatic environments that may harbor unique assemblages of species. Existing biofouling datasets are small, older and present data gaps relating to vessel type, antifouling techniques and methodologies and transit pathing. In order to better anticipate potential high risk commercial ship arrivals and to help inform the development of strategies to prevent or mitigate its negative effects on marine ecosystems and shipping operations, the collection of biological samples and measurements of percent coverage of fouling organisms on the vessel hull and niche areas of commercial ships in high traffic Canadian ports on the East (i.e., Halifax, NS) and West coast (i.e., Vancouver, BC), is needed.

Objective

The goal of this contract is to secure technical diving services experienced in and capable of collecting underwater video, photos and physical scrapings of biofouling organisms on commercial ships in major Canadian ports, namely Halifax and Vancouver.
