Canadian Hydrographic Service - NONNA
The Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) NONNA platform offers access to hydrographic data. This data is explicitly not intended for navigational purposes, and users must adhere to a specific license agreement for its acquisition and use.
The Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) NONNA platform provides access to CHS hydrographic data through its online dashboard and map interface. Access to this data is governed by the CHS NONNA Licence, a non-exclusive agreement between His Majesty the King in Right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, and the user.
Key terms of this licence emphasize that the copyright of the data remains with CHS and cannot be resold or assigned. Crucially, the data is explicitly not intended for navigation and does not meet the requirements of the Navigation Safety Regulations, 2020. Users access and utilize the data at their own risk, with CHS providing no technical support.
Users who create derivative products from the CHS data are required to include a prominent attribution notice. This notice must clearly state that the product was made by the user, contains CHS intellectual property, and does not meet navigational safety requirements, reinforcing that official CHS charts must be used for navigation.
