Salmon Coast’s story began around a remote kitchen table in the Broughton Archipelago, where biologist Alexandra Morton opened her doors to young researchers determined to defend wild juvenile salmon. What started as an off-grid, grassroots effort to understand the impact of salmon farms has spent over twenty years serving as a vital sanctuary for independent science, providing local First Nations and coastal communities with the evidence needed to protect their ancestral waters.

Now, as the coastal landscape transitions and salmon farms are phased out of the region, our field station is looking toward a new horizon. Guided by two decades of collaborative conservation, we are broadening our lens to safeguard the entire interconnected web of life from mapping golden kelp forests and recording whale acoustics to assessing forestry impacts on salmon streams, keeping our promise to watch over this wild coast.
