Do you have a passion for aquatic sciences in Canada? Do you wish
to be a part of new and upcoming
aquatic research?

Do you want to network with
aquatic researchers from coast
to coast to coast with a diversity
of backgrounds?

We think one of the most important
reasons to join SCAS is the chance to develop and strengthen a network of individuals dedicated to improving both marine and freshwater aquatic resources in Canada. From hydrology to oceanography to biogeochemistry to limnology to fisheries; from scientists to resource managers to biologists, to students; from the next generation to practicing professionals to retirees – we welcome all perspectives and backgrounds!

The uniqueness of SCAS lies in our diversity, inclusivity, and the connectivity that comes with a focused dedication to Canadian aquatic environments.
