Rugged Coast Research Society

The Rugged Coast Research Society is a newly formed (2017) Nanaimo based society developed to research remote coastal habitats along the BC coast. Research results will be shared with stakeholders, and the public, that may want to use the results to better understand our coast and protect it. The Rugged Coast team is comprised of marine industry professionals, marine biologists and entrepreneurs who share a passion for surfing and fishing. Our team members have been exploring the coast for many years and have the experience and equipment required to successfully conduct research in remote coastal habitats.
