Episode 12 - Denis Hains - Hydrospatial Advocate

  • Summary

  • For episode 12 of the Seabed 2030 podcast, Head of Partnerships Steve Hall interviews Denis Hains (see LinkedIn profile) Hydrospatial Global Influencer, President and CEO of H2i.
    Denis is a long-standing champion for ocean mapping, having served in a series of international influential roles including as Hydrographer General of Canada & Director General of the Canadian Hydrographic Service.
    He is a member of the Seabed 2030 Strategic Advisory Group, and although he retired from Canadian government service in 2018, he has remained a prolific & visible contributor to the ocean mapping community with many pro-bono professional advisory activities.
    Denis was the recipient of the 2024 Sam Masry Award issued by the Canadian Hydrographic Association and is author or co-author of numerous papers and popular technical policy articles.
    In this interview Denis talks about his career, about why he is passionate in his advocacy for 'Hydrospatial' as a term describing the work of this domain sector. Link here to an article explaining that 'Hydrospatial' is not about replacing 'hydrography', and here to find the LinkedIn Hydrospatial group.
    Denis goes on to explain why Seabed 2030 matters as a mechanism for delivering the first global map of the ocean, and about the importance and enthusiasm of the next generation of ocean mappers in the Hydrospatial domain, and why education, experience, continuous learning - and most importantly professional networking, are vital for early career professionals to build their career.
