Oh, the Dread-less Wind & Rain
Some dread, loathe, eschew rain. Not us. You see, this is a rainforest.
Last week we had a howling southeast rip through. Good timing. We were starting round two of our sampling and had only a short boat ride to our nearby site for training. So, we spent only a few short hours in lashing rains.
Lucky for us, Patagonia had kindly just sent us a massive duffel bag full of clothes. We thank this company for truly walking their environmental talk.

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.
