Research & Development
CHS is responsible for the surveying, measuring, describing, and charting
of the physical features of Canada's oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes.
The data are then used to produce nautical material including nautical
charts (in both paper and digital formats), Sailing Directions, bathymetric
maps, and Tides and Current Tables.
To support development of oil, gas, and other offshore resources, CHS
works with the Geological
Survey of Canada of Natural Resources Canada on special surveys.
