Information and Public Consultation Session on Proposed Marine Autonomous Test Zone

Thursday, May 23, 6-7:30 p.m.

The Launch, 4 Northside Rd., Holyrood, N.L.

The Marine Institute is investigating the development of a Marine Autonomous Test Zone and wants your input.

The Marine Institute invites residents of the Town of Holyrood and surrounding communities to an information and public consultation session to learn more about a proposed Marine Autonomous Test Zone in Holyrood harbour.

The session will take place on Thursday, May 23, from 6–7:30 p.m. at The Launch (Arthur W. May Building), 4 Northside Rd., Holyrood, N.L.

This test zone will allow for the deployment and operation of uncrewed marine vehicles, both above and below the surface, in a specific area under an approved safety management system.

The zone is being designed with other users in mind, so it will have minimal or no impact on commercial and recreational activities in the area.

Come to The Launch to hear more about the test zone, provide your feedback and learn about how the Marine Institute’s work is benefiting our oceans.
