Oceans Initiative

NGO / Public Service

Oceans Initiative is a team of scientists on a mission to protect marine life, including whales, dolphins, sharks, salmon & seabirds, in Canada and beyond. Like the whales we study, we are highly migratory. We spend half our time getting our feet wet in the field, wherever our work is needed, but the other half is spent using our science to inform smart decisions to conserve wildlife. Our partnership with Aeroplan's Beyond Miles program helps us to shuffle observers and scientists between the sea and the office, and has allowed us to move the whale-sized piles of field equipment we use to explore and protect the British Columbia coast.
