In her journey to Bella Bella to start the 2019 bear research season in Haíɫzaqv territory, the Chris Darimont / Raincoast / UVic Geography dream-vessel, Kwahnie, paused to take in the view.…
Within a month juvenile salmon - including Harrison Chinook - are already making their way over the breach we have created in the Steveston Jetty! This project will benefit all juvenile salmon...

Today we placed a grid of small pvc pipes in the area to monitor changes in the area where we expect channels to form on Sturgeon Bank following the construction of our Jetty breaches! Stay tuned….construction begins Monday!!!
We are excitedly moving towards construction of 3 breaches of the Steveston Jetty to restore natural outmigration pathways for juvenile salmon which provide access to critical brackish marsh habitats!!…
New research published today by Raincoast, Spirit Bear Research Foundation and The University of Victoria shows that the diversity of salmon species is more important to black bears than simply the total amount of salmon available.
Let us take you here. Beyond photography, our 'Notes from the Field' and 'Conservation Updates' bring stories of the places we work to protect and the people doing that work...

The Pacific Ecology and Evolution Conference is a meeting for young scientists to come together, present their research, share ideas, collaborate, and then get party in nerdy costumes. Needless to say I really enjoyed presenting my work on...
Raincoast's mission is to protect the land, waters and wildlife of coastal British Columbia. That includes our feathered friends. While much of our work is focused on...
With the ever present and dramatically increasing threat of oil spills in BC waters, we decided to take a hard look at the risk to marine mammals. Knowing that it’s a matter of when, rather than if a spill occurs...
