A leading ocean technology company in Atlantic Canada is disappointed and baffled that authorities in Nova Scotia turned down its offer to search for a sunken scallop dragger. The torpedo-shaped sonar device, shown in 2018, sends sound pulses through water and converts the returning echoes into digital images. He said the force may still take Kraken up on its offer, but for now it has the resources it needs, including sonar. Karl Kenny says his company 'just wanted to help' and did not expect to be compensated for the work. The RCMP, he said, were appreciative of the offer, but turned it down again as recently as this week.
