Meet Ruffy, one of the most beloved residents at Salmon Coast. Ruffy specializes in sunbeams, snacks, and quality control. From monitoring station activities to perfecting the art of afternoon napping, he takes his responsibilities seriously. He’s a small but important part of what makes Salmon Coast feel like home!

Another season of sea lice monitoring underway! At Salmon Coast, we’ve been monitoring sea lice on juvenile salmon weekly throughout the out-migration season at three sites in the Broughton Archipelago since 2001. Always grateful for a bit of sunshine on the water during field days 🌤️🌊

Did you know our water source on site comes from a stream about a 15-minute walk from the station? Every few days the filter needs clearing to keep things running smoothly, and Ruffy the station cat usually comes along to supervise!

A little photo drop of life lately at the station: muddy boots, sunny docks, salmon schools, field days, and good company 💙

Wet Lab makeover time 👀

With a few more folks around the station lately, we’ve been making the most of the extra helping hands and giving some well-loved spaces around camp a little refresh ✨

Welcoming another friendly face back to the coast, our Research Crew Lead, Kate! 🌊

Kate grew up exploring the shores of səlilwət (Burrard Inlet), a curiosity that led her to an MSc in marine ecology at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Salmon Coast board members Dr. Martin Krkošek and Dr. Sean Godwin. She’s been part of the Salmon Coast alumni community since 2021, and we’re so excited to have her back this season leading our diverse research projects!
