ENHANCED MARITIME SITUATIONAL AWARENESS MAP

Designed for use by the Oceans Protection Plan team at Transport Canada, this map visually identifies the territories of the various Indigenous groups that helped to test and evaluate the new, enhanced maritime awareness information system. The system provides Indigenous Peoples, coastal communities, and marine partners with vessel traffic data and access to local maritime information such as weather conditions, vessel positioning, and traditional and cultural knowledge.

Using a colour scheme pulled from the OPP footer “wave,” combined with hints of the current Transport Canada corporate colour palette, I created a more modern and clean version of a previous EMSA map.
