Description

ECO Canada is seeking consultants to develop two interconnected digital learning courses focused on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the ocean sector. These courses are designed to build foundational and advanced knowledge, providing ocean professionals with the necessary tools to understand, apply, and assess AI-driven insights within their specific fields.

Course 1: AI in the Ocean Sector – Case Studies, Applications & Ethics
This foundational course will focus on real-world applications of AI across various ocean sectors, such as marine conservation, aquaculture, shipping, and offshore energy. Emphasis will be placed on ethical considerations, data bias, Indigenous data sovereignty, and transparency. The course will encourage critical thinking and provide an introduction to AI-driven decision-making practices in ocean industries.

Course 2: AI-Powered Decision Support for Ocean Professionals
This advanced-level course will guide mid-to-senior ocean professionals in interpreting and applying AI-generated insights to real-time decision-making scenarios. The focus will be on using AI for operational planning, environmental monitoring, and marine policy, with case studies in areas like marine spatial planning, shipping route optimization, and aquaculture forecasting.
