Looking back at an incredible moment from the field in 2025 👉 youtube.com/shorts/MXpKu... We’re working with @earthspecies.bsky.social to understand killer whale communication more deeply than ever before. But we need your support. Learn more at raincoast.org/listen. #conservationscience #yvr

🤔Science, or stress management? Both! What does whacking a metal pole tied to the side of our research vessel have to do with killer whale conservation…? 🎬Learn more at www.raincoast.org/listen studio.youtube.com/video/qgsEYf... youtube.com/shorts/qgsEY...

Raincoast’s Conservation Genetics Lab has had a busy year working on established projects and embarking on exciting new studies as well. ✍️This is an excerpt from Tracking Raincoast into 2026, an annual summary of our work. www.raincoast.org/2025/12/biod...

👂We’re listening to protect killer whales. Here are some things our Cetacean Program have been up to in 2025... 👉 www.raincoast.org/2025/12/list...

To protect #KillerWhales, we need to understand their communication. In 2025, Raincoast and @earthspecies.bsky.social unified field biologists, acoustic specialists, and experts in modern analytical methods to study killer whale communication like never before. You can help. raincoast.org/listen/

For over three decades, Raincoast has worked to understand and protect the ecosystems of the central coast of British Columbia, a region referred to as the Great Bear Rainforest. Since the mid 1990s, this region has experienced significant change. www.raincoast.org/2025/12/30-y...

New paper alert! Gaps in policy implementation obscure conservation progress after two decades under Canada’s Wild Salmon Policy #WildSalmon #policy doi.org/10.1139/cjfa...

A century ago, Chinook salmon could weigh over 70 pounds. Today, a 30 pound Chinook is considered a big catch. Modern fishing practices have shaped salmon evolution over time, leading fish to mature earlier and at smaller sizes. Watch the video: www.raincoast.org/2025/12/hone...

In 2025, our researchers, alongside Earth Species Project and Icelandic Orca Project, set out to uncover how killer whales use sound to communicate, and how noise pollution interferes with these processes. But we need your help. Watch the video and learn more www.raincoast.org/listen/
