Help Sustain the Calvert Coastal Observatory

Donate to Calvert

The Calvert Coastal Observatory is the central hub for marine research, safety, and community collaboration on BC’s remote central coast. Operating year-round, the facility powers critical oceanographic science while providing 24/7 emergency response and logistical support for neighboring conservancies. Your donation directly funds the infrastructure and operations required to protect and study this vital ecosystem.

  • Emergency Response: Serves as the region's 24/7 marine safety, communication, and search-and-rescue coordinator within a 40 km radius.

  • Conservancy Management: Manages all regional visitor orientation, education, and trail maintenance in partnership with First Nations Guardians and Park Rangers.

  • Scientific Research: Tracks changes in the coastal ocean, fjords, and watersheds using advanced environmental instrumentation.

  • Cultural & Science Dialogue: Hosts workshops that connect western coastal science with Indigenous governance, traditional knowledge, and community leadership.
