Maritime domain awareness (MDA) is defined by the International Maritime Organization as the effective understanding of anything associated with the maritime domain that could impact the security, safety, economy, or environment.[1] The maritime domain is defined as all areas and things of, on, under, relating to, adjacent to, or bordering on a sea, ocean, or other navigable waterway, including all maritime-related activities, infrastructure, people, cargo, and vessels and other conveyances.

| Marine Security Operations Centres - Maritime Security |
In Canada, the 2004 National Security Policy resulted in the establishment of Marine Security Operations Centers (MSOCs) responsible for supporting a national response to maritime security threat. The East Coast MSOC is in Halifax, the West Coast MSOC is in Victoria, and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway MSOC is in Niagara.[3]
Maritime Domain Awareness - Transport Canada
Maritime domain awareness makes our marine security system better because it helps us:
- Quickly identify actual or potential threats to Canada’s marine transportation system;
- Make informed decisions;
- Take effective action;
- Share knowledge with appropriate partners; and
- Integrate situational awareness in “whole of government” efforts to respond to marine events and to limit the damage from such events.

| RADARSAT-2 - Canadian Space Agency |
Abstract - Project Polar Epsilon: Joint Space-Based Wide Area Surveillance and Support Capability, a capital project within Canada’s Defence program, will use RADARSAT 2 to enable all-weather, day/night persistent surveillance of Canada’s Arctic region and ocean approaches. Project Polar Epsilon is a transformational initiative to introduce space-based wide area surveillance to Canadian Government marine surveillance stakeholders. Effort in algorithm development is being undertaken to expand the potential of RADARSAT 2 for the sovereignty and surveillance mission. Capabilities being further developed include: land surveillance of Canada’s Arctic Region via change detection techniques; ship detection; environmental sensing and ocean intelligence.
