Thanks to the very generous funding from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and private donors we have FINALLY been able to purchase and fit out our own project vessel! It is a 28' Tollycraft with a rebuilt 330hp Volvo Penta engine, with a custom deck and interior to accommodate scientific instrumentation and access for Citizen Science scuba diving.

However, we still require ongoing maintenance costs, moorage fees, and insurance to keep this boat running and doing the important work that lead to better protections of the Átl'ka7tsem/Howe Sound ecosystem! Any donation amount is much appreciated.
