The CV for the SV Achiever
One of the challenges with trying to do research on British Columbia’s north and central coast is getting around. We are talking about a rugged and roadless coastal ecosystem thousands of square miles in size. For many years, Raincoast begged, borrowed or leased vessels that could get our field crews in and about the vast region known as the Great Bear Rainforest.

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.
