Explore the spectacularly wild parts of the BC coast, and learn about travel and conservation initiatives that go hand-in-hand at a special slide show on Friday, March 25.

Take an illustrated voyage through the coast’s natural history and hear about efforts to protect the Spirit Bear in this audio-visual presentation by adventure cruise guide Maureen Gordon and by Raincoast’s marine operations and guide outfitter coordinator Brian Falconer.

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.
