From killer whales to humpbacks
One of our most striking findings in 2024 was a negative relationship between the health of females and the number of offspring they had.
Salmon ecosystems in a changing climate
This emerging research will inform how climate change more broadly affects salmon habitat.
Confronting bright extinction
With more deaths in 2024 than births, action is needed more than ever.
Wolves, whales, and water
We have completed our analysis of inbreeding across Resident killer whale populations, yielding some interesting results.
Rethinking fisheries
Raincoast has long argued that ocean fisheries removing “yields” of intercepted salmon on migration routes are not sustainable into the future.
Conserving and restoring Coastal Douglas-fir forests
We’re now establishing long term monitoring and sampling protocols, developing management plans, and carrying out active restoration.
Fraser Estuary research and restoration
Raincoast is undertaking a multi-year initiative that began in 2016 to conduct research and restore habitat in the Fraser River Estuary.
The science and ethics of wolf conservation
Marked by a long history of persecution and astonishing resilience, wolves continue to be in the crosshairs of both the public and policymakers.
Hanging by a thread
Highly intelligent, social, and sensitive, with sophisticated communication skills and strong family ties, these whales have an intrinsic right to live their lives.
Snapshot of Raincoast actions for Southern Resident killer whales
Raincoast has been working to implement adequate recovery measures for endangered Southern Resident killer whales for almost 20 years.
Sailing, stewardship, and sound
Raincoast’s youth program, Salish Sea Emerging Stewards, aims to educate, inspire, and empower the next generation of conservation leaders.
Pelagic bird surveys and other research on board Achiever
The goal is to reduce Achiever’s carbon emissions, significantly reduce the amount of underwater noise (from our engines), and become a leading example for other small ships working and traveling the coastal waters of BC.
