[Public-List] Chart Surveys

[Kris Coward]

I imagine that a lot of those 243,042km are waters that really don't see
a whole hell of a lot of surveying. I mean those islands up in Nunavut
have a lot of fjords that I don't imagine are seeing much navigation
(outside of submarine sovereignty patrols, but it seems to make sense to
keep soundings from/for those patrols classified).

Google tells me that Canada has the world’s longest coastline at 243,042 Km. So, it would take 112 survey-boat-years to cover Canadian waters, once.
