The main workshop recommendations are:

• Actively strive to maintain and enhance Canada's position as an international leader in ocean observation through strong participation in the global BGC Argo program.
• Enhance Canadian scientific capacity in biogeochemical modelling and prediction, in order to capitalize fully on the potential of BGC Argo.
• For Canada to reap maximum scientific and societal benefit from BGC Argo, ample training opportunities for young scientists should be provided, which would also help to ensure that “eyes are on the data” at all times.
• Ensure free and near real-time access to the emerging data streams through properly resourcing data management.
• Form a national BGC Argo steering committee to facilitate communication within the Canadian user community.
