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...

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

This was an epic film and an inspiring event! #SalishSea

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
