Encountering beauty
Encountering more Great Bear Rainforest beauty on our trip on Raincoast conservation research vessel Achiever.
Achiever
Our dedicated research vessel, Achiever, is a Transport Canada certified 68 ft, steel hulled sloop that operates seven months a year on the BC coast. We acquired Achiever in 2004 as a platform for our 10,000nm marine survey studying the abundance and distribution of marine mammals and birds. Over the last twelve years Achiever has performed countless trips as a research and education platform for Raincoast and many others across thousands of kilometers of coastline. With Achiever, Raincoast also has the capacity to access our commercial hunting tenures, and monitor areas otherwise out of reach.

Koeye campers and camp counsellors out on The Achiever
"Is it my turn to record the data?" Taking Koeye campers & camp counsellors out on The Achiever is so much fun! We practice the methods scientists use to survey whales and seabirds, including spotting, using markings to ID individuals, behaviour, and recording data.

Enough relaxing, time to get back to work!…
