Slideshow of Raincoast Birds
The lands and waters of Canada’s Pacific coast support an astonishing diversity of marine birds. Millions breed here every year and millions more migrate, rest, overwinter and feed here. With industrial projects, such as oil tankers and pipelines, being proposed for the lands and waters of the Great Bear Rainforest, the marine birds of our coast and the habitats they depend upon face an uncertain future. We hope you enjoy this video slideshow of just a small selection of the marine bird species that may be found in our coastal waters. If you’d like to learn more, please explore our website for details.

Raincoast’s in-house scientists, collaborating graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors make us unique among conservation groups. We work with First Nations, academic institutions, government, and other NGOs to build support and inform decisions that protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them. We conduct ethically applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for conservation deliberations and the collective body of scientific knowledge.
We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
