Coastal science for people, climate, and communities
Science-based environmental data for mitigation, compensation, and climate resilience in Nova Scotia
Blue Maritimes produces baseline data, GIS mapping, monitoring design, and decision-support tools to help partners plan responsible environmental mitigation, restoration, compensation, and climate resilience actions
Our work strengthens climate resilience, informs policy, and advances nature-based solutions across Atlantic Canada
Our Organization
Blue Maritimes is a Nova Scotia-based non-profit that produces science-based environmental data, baseline studies, GIS mapping, and decision-support tools for public-interest climate and conservation work.
Our core strength is coastal and wetland science, including blue carbon, but our work supports a broader goal: helping partners make better decisions about environmental mitigation, restoration, compensation, monitoring, and climate resilience across Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada.
Blue Maritimes Society is located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq. This territory is covered by the Peace and Friendship Treaties, a series of treaties signed between 1725 and 1779 between the British Crown and members of the Wabanaki Confederacy, including the Mi’kmaq and the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet). Mi’kmaw Peoples have lived on and cared for this land for more than 13,500 years.
Take Action
Help build the science Nova Scotia needs for better environmental decisions.
Blue Maritimes works with donors, partners, funders, and public-interest organizations to produce the baseline data, mapping, and decision-support tools needed for responsible mitigation, restoration, compensation, and climate resilience work.
