“I love being a Raincoast Board member because Raincoast has found a unique way to balance advocacy with credible science, and powerful storytelling, to help people understand why change is required if we hope to preserve what is beautiful and important in BC’s coastal ecosystems, not to mention they inspired and helped me when I was a young scientist.”
