   "Provide assistance to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19",
   "Commercialize a rope-on-command fishing solution",
   "To support adoption of existing whalesafe gear, devices and systems in commercial fisheries, as well as trials and validation of such gear, devices and systems.",
   "To encourage scientific research and related scientific activities (e.g. data collection, integration, monitoring, and communication, including communication via conferences and symposia) and dissemination of scientific knowledge in the areas of: (a) Fisheries and Aquaculture Science; (b) Ecosystem Science; (c) Oceanography and Modelling; and (d) Freshwater Science.",
   "This project is focused on the development of sensor technology and inventory management hardware for monitoring and managing fishing gear/traps. Specifically aimed to develop technologies that will allow for: - A robust method (adapting near field communication technologies) for the automated tracking and inventory of commercial lobster and crab traps. - The tracking/retrieval of lost lobster and crab traps that are found/recovered. - A method for logging viable catch weights on a trap or trawl-by-trawl basis (with geolocation tagging/mapping).",
   "The Client's state of the art rope-on-command (ROC) gear effectively removes all vertical lines and buoys from the water column and provides fixed trapped crab and lobster fishermen a method of fishing that poses no entanglement risks to marine mammals, most notably the critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. The primary goal of this project is to develop an innovative enhancement to this ROC technology that increases the visibility of the buoy system once it is deployed and reaches the ocean surface. This addresses concerns from fishermen that the existing buoy is hard to locate in",
   "The client will develop an underwater pressure housing to store the electronics and acoustic components of their Modular Ocean Based Instrument (MOBI) system, and it will be compatible with the existing proprietary magnetic release mechanism.",
   "The funding provided from the Innovation Assistance Program is to assist innovative, early-stage small- and medium-sized enterprises that are unable to access existing COVID-19 business support.",
   "Ashored will undertake a research and planning project on the core technologies necessary for an integrated autonomous maritime system intended to provide Persistent Autonomous Mine Countermeasures capabilities.",
   "Hire a chief technology officer to lead technology development",
   "The funding provided by the IAP program is intended to assist innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in the start-up phase that cannot access existing commercial support related to COVID-19.",
   "Ashored Inc. plans to hire a recent graduate to test and refine its products' hardware / software features, reliability, and functionality to ensure the quality of the system design prior to volume manufacturing.",
   "The project will support development of intellectual property capacity within the firm.",
   "The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.",
   "The funding provided from the Innovation Assistance Program is to assist innovative, early-stage small- and medium-sized enterprises that are unable to access existing COVID-19 business support.",
   "Participation in the Canadian ocean technology partnering mission to the EUREKA Global Innovation Summit (EGIS) in Portugal – June 20-24, 2022. Delegation led by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) to develop international partnerships and potential project ideas under the EUREKA, Eurostars, and Cluster Programs."
