In the Pacific Northwest off Vancouver island 500 miles of fiber optic cable connect 6 different underwater research stations. Varying from 70 feet deep on the continental shelf to over 7000 ft deep in the great abyss, each station, or node has numerous instruments to track water chemistry, gelogic data and animals and more, all in real time.

In the Pacific Northwest off Vancouver Island, Canada, 800 kilometres of fibre optic cables (yellow) connect six different underwater research stations. Varying from 20 metres deep on the continental shelf to over 2200 metres deep in the ocean abyss, each station, or node has numerous instruments to track water chemistry and geological and ecological data in real time. It has been in operation since 2009. For insets showing details of research, see image C022/9837.
