Join us for a free five-day land-to-sea educational expedition through the Salish Sea #yyj #yvr #SalishSea www.raincoast.org/2025/09/free...

So looking forward to this event tonight with the North Coast Ecology Centre at the Prince Rupert Library! northcoastecologycentresociety.com I’ll share stories from the field and work from my postdoc with @bcwhales.bsky.social @raincoast.org @dmennill.bsky.social. Excited to learn together!

On Friday, September 12th, researchers from the Center for Whale Research witnessed J36, Alki, pushing her deceased calf through the water. Another loss underscores just how urgent it is to strengthen recovery measures for this population. Learn more: www.raincoast.org/2025/09/j36-...

We’re back with a brand new season of Raincoast Radio! What makes salmon more than a fish? 💦 Let’s dive in. Listen to the brand new trailer now: www.raincoast.org/2025/09/rain...

Eavesdropping on Northern Residents 🔊
On Aug 31 we filmed A72 with her offspring A108 & A131 and sibling A123. Watch the bubble streams revealing the caller! 🎬 From our @raincoast.org pilot on KW communication with @earthspecies.bsky.social ⚠️ Drone footage collected legally under SARA permit.

"I think we really need to hear the rest of life to be healthy" reflects Amy Martin, creator of the podcast "Threshold". In this episode, she invites a few of us to discuss impacts of both underwater noise, and noise in cities. Close your eyes..and listen! www.thresholdpodcast.org/hark-episode...

Identifying opportunities toward conflict transformation in an Orca-Salmon-Human system, by @laureneeckert.bsky.social #SalishSea #salmon #conflict doi.org/10.1111/csp2...

Salmon access vs. killer whale protection? Turns out, it isn't so simple. 🎣 New, collaborative research at @uvic.ca with @raincoast.org shows conflict in the Salish Sea is less about fish & whales—and more about identity, values, & mistrust of management. theconversation.com/in-the-salis...

Our team is combining drone and snorkel surveys to identify thermal refuges in the Coldwater River, near Merritt. Rivers are warming due to climate change. Where do #salmon go to cool down, and what can we do to help them? www.raincoast.org/2025/08/salm...

New collaborative research out today with @raincoast.org explores the deep-roots of conflict over killer whale and Chinook management in the Salish Sea - proposing new approaches to transform intractable conflicts. www.timescolonist.com/environment/...

Nice work @raincoast.org So important to identify common ground and change the narrative.

Counting beluga surface behaviours on the Churchill River to understand the impacts of noise! Does underwater noise affect how often belugas show their tails when diving, a behaviour that may be linked to feeding? Excited to find out! @raincoast.org @uwindsor.bsky.social Photo: Marie-Ana Mikus

The Raincoast Ocean Science Awards celebrate outstanding achievements by individuals and groups striving to protect marine habitats through science, Indigenous Knowledge systems, and public engagement. Nominations are open until August 15th! www.raincoast.org/ocean-awards/

So excited to see this project started! Can’t wait to hear what @jaclynaubin.bsky.social and Marie-Ana @raincoast.org will find out this first season!

So thrilled to be back in Churchill, learning about beluga vocal and social behaviour. Marie-Ana and I are here for the first field season of my postdoc project in collaboration with @raincoast.org, Frontiers North Adventures, Oceans North, @uwindsor.bsky.social, and @dmennill.bsky.social

Although recovery is still within reach, it will not be achieved by perpetuating the status quo. With the recent appointment of new federal government ministers in place, now is the time for them to demonstrate leadership by prioritizing the conservation of southern residents. ✍️ @raincoast.org 🌎

The existing measures since 2019 may have helped halt the whales’ further decline, but scientists are “not seeing an upturn at this point,” said Dr. Barrett-Lennard globalnews.ca/news/1127896...

Orcas are using kelp as loofahs off the coast of B.C., a unique, learned, says @ubcoceans.bsky.social prof Andrew Trites via @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Urgent and bold action" is needed to save the endangered southern resident killer whales from extinction “before it’s too late,” says a new report from a group of scientists. www.vicnews.com/local-news/s...

Southern Resident killer whales are perilously closed to extinction, with only 73 individuals left. Earlier this year, 31 scientists, across disciplines and borders, met in Vancouver to ask a hard question: What will it take to save this population? Find out more: www.raincoast.org/reports/reco...

Last year saw one of the highest endangered Chinook returns in a decade for the Sq’éwqel community near Agassiz. That moment was made possible by years of restoration at Maria Slough, and the work continues this summer with support from PSF's Community Salmon Program. psf.ca/news-media/1...

“As Canada takes action to fast-track sustainable development, there is a parallel need to fast-track actions to not sell off the health of our lands, waters, and futures to extractive industries.”@vancouversun.bsky.social vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...

“Our findings provide a poignant reminder that we all have a role to play in protecting waterways. The silver lining in our report lies in that message" -- Dr. Peter Ross, director of Raincoast’s Healthy Waters program www.raincoast.org/press/bowen-...

Is it time the critical habitat of #endangered killer whales be expanded to include their prey base - Chinook #salmon rivers? Protecting these rivers is directly linked to the recovery of Southern Resident killer whales. #OrcaActionMonth www.raincoast.org/2023/08/crit...
