Set sail with Raincoast, Patagonia and Woodshed Films  (in collaboration with Jeremy Koreski  and Dean Azim) for an exploratory surf trip along British Columbia’s unspoiled west coast.  While searching for waves, the crew documents what would be threatened if the Northern Gateway tar sands oil pipeline is built.
 

Support our mobile lab, Tracker!

Our new mobile lab will enable the Healthy Waters Program to deliver capacity, learning, and training to watershed-based communities. We need your support to convert the vehicle and equip it with lab instrumentation. This will allow us to deliver insight into pollutants of concern in local watersheds, and contribute to solution-oriented practices that protect and restore fish habitat.
