ABOUT OSL
At the Core of DFO Priorities
The St. Lawrence Observatory
(OSL) contributes to the Department
of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) mandate by diffusing and presenting
marine science information and results necessary to a better understanding
and a well-informed use of the marine environment and coastal zones.
The OSL addresses also the
current priorities of the DFO Science sector particularly by improving
the communication of scientific knowledge and by fostering and enhancing
collaboration with industry and universities.
Logo
The St. Lawrence Observatory
logo represents the Earth, with the St. Lawrence area as the focal point.
The elliptic trajectory symbolises technologies (such as satellites)
that are now used for observation and surveys, allowing scientists to
carry out global studies on marine ecosystems.
The logo-signature of the St.
Lawrence Observatory is registered on behalf of the Crown, Government
of Canada.
OSL Team
The St. Lawrence Observatory
team is based at the Maurice
Lamontagne Institute (IML), one of the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans Canada marine science research centres.
