Whale Research in Coastal British Columbia
The Coastal Ecosystems Research Foundation is involved in ongoing
research into the biology and ecology of whales and dolphins in Canadian waters.
Participants will be incorporated into the research team, learn field techniques and
participate on projects under the direction of the research biologists. The study area
stretches 50 miles along the mainland shore of Queen Charlotte Sound.
Much of the research focuses on grey and humpback whales. Also found
in the waters are white-sided dolphins and Orca (killer whales). Participants will
experience wilderness camping in rainforest and full days spent aboard a 40 foot research
vessel. This is an excellent way to contribute to this non-profit organization and their
efforts.
