The Journal of Ocean Technology is an initiative of the School of Ocean Technology and has become a leading periodical for the international oceans community.

Born, in part, out of a desire to showcase Canadian expertise in the international marketplace, the mission of JOT is to expand global knowledge and understanding of ocean issues and to serve as the medium for publication of research and innovation in support of sustainable ocean exploitation and management.

The format of the Journal is unique to the industry, combining ‘essays on a theme' with peer-reviewed technical papers.

In this way, the Journal is able to highlight a broad range of challenges faced by the maritime community, and the technologies that are needed to help address these challenges. The journal is published quarterly and circulated to subscribers in some 50 countries.

The Mandate of the Marine Institute is to provide education and training, applied research and technology transfer in support of our client industries on a national and international basis. Overall, the Marine Institute is committed to providing a learning environment in which students can reach their full potential. We aim to design and deliver programs that provide graduates with highly competitive skills and abilities. We encourage excellence in teaching and learning, and seek to provide the industrial community with relevant, high quality, applied research and technology transfer.

This mission provides for the development of the Institute as an industrially relevant institution. A range of Doctoral, Master, and Bachelor Degree, Advanced Diploma, Diploma of Technology, Post Graduate Certificate, Technician Diploma and Technical Certificate programs are offered, together with a variety of industry-oriented short courses. The Marine Institute’s vision for the future is: To Guide Newfoundland and Labrador to the World Through Global Leadership in Applied Oceans Education and Research. This vision will shape the goals of the Institute, guide its activities, strengthen its expertise, and advance its reputation for ocean excellence globally.
