Tracking Raincoast

Tracking Raincoast is our annual report. Get highlights from the year, our science, flagship projects, staff and volunteers, as well as a peek at what’s in store for the coming year.

Our vision for coastal British Columbia is to protect the habitats and resources of umbrella species. We believe this approach will help safeguard all species, including people, and ecological processes that exist at different scales. To further this goal, we operate a research lab at the University of Victoria, a conservation genetics lab, run a 68-foot Transport Canada certified research/sailing vessel, Achiever, and a mobile water pollution lab, Tracker. Central to our efforts are long-standing relationships with Indigenous communities.

“Raincoast is remarkably effective at using rigorous peer-reviewed science to influence government, industry, and individuals to protect marine wildlife and marine environments — exactly what was needed, in our opinion.”
