April conservation expedition with Raincoast’s Dr. Paul Paquet
See the Salish Sea with Raincoast’s Senior Scientist.
This April we are partnering with Bluewater Adventures for a unique trip through the Canadian Gulf Islands and the Salish Sea, which will feature Raincoast’s Dr. Paul Paquet as the guest Naturalist.
As Raincoast’s Senior Scientist, and a world renowned large carnivore expert, Paul’s input is key to guiding our research and conservation programs in both the Great Bear Rainforest and the Salish Sea. Paul will provide insight into key conservation issues on BC’s coast including the recovery of endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales and the health of the Salish Sea. At the same time you’ll keep watch for migrating sea birds, humpback whales, and for Bigg’s killer whales (marine mammal-eating). This adventure will include hikes in coastal forests, the chance to explore by kayak and to simply enjoy the beauty of BC’s south coast. Each booking directly supports our conservation efforts.
April 23 – 27, 2019

Spring and fall in the Great Bear Rainforest aboard Raincoast’s Achiever
Our dedicated research vessel, Achiever, allows us to visit remote estuaries, coastal fjords and the communities with whom we partner.
These trips allow us to provide a glimpse of what coastal carnivore conservation looks like on the ground for the wolves, grizzly bears and black bears that we work to protect. You’ll visit places in which we have ended commercial trophy hunting, with all proceeds going to support permanent safeguarding of coastal carnivores.

You can help
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.
