DFO appears to be seeking a contractor to collect coastal imagery and video along approximately 1,750 km of southern Nova Scotia coastline, from near Lobster Bay north toward Halifax. The work supports the Canadian Coast Guard’s Area Response Planning initiative and oil-spill preparedness under the Oceans Protection Plan 2.0. The contractor would need to use methods consistent with the Shore Zone Coastal Imaging and Habitat Mapping Protocol (Cook et al., 2017), as well as the requirements in the RFP. The resulting information is intended to expand coastal habitat datasets and improve planning and response activities. The tender is listed as open and is scheduled to close on September 25, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. The listing identifies the buyer as Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the work location as Nova Scotia, although the location field also references Fredericton, New Brunswick; this should be clarified in the official documents. Businesses with relevant coastal surveying, marine imaging, aerial or shoreline video collection, habitat mapping, and data-management experience may find this opportunity potentially relevant. The listing does not provide enough information to determine whether a particular business qualifies.
