Science & conservation for an oil free coast – UVic
Join Raincoast for a Fall 2016 update on our science and legal work to stop oil tanker and tar sands expansion on BC's coast

With a court case appealing aspects of the Northern Gateway court ruling (you read that correctly, here’s why), and a decision on Kinder Morgan expected this fall, now is a crucial time for our coast and its wildlife.
Join Raincoast and UVic’s Society of Geography Students (SOGs) to be informed and inspired by our research and conservation efforts for Southern Resident killer whales, Fraser River salmon, and marine birds.

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.
