Since 1956, Vancouver Aquarium researchers have been conducting original studies of habitats and animals (fish, invertebrates and mammals) in the wild and on site in order to advance our knowledge necessary to enhance environmental conservation. Much of our research would be impossible to perform in the wild and there are few opportunities for researchers, in academic or government research departments, to access captive animals. We are in a unique position to study and observe aquatic life.
The Vancouver Aquarium has a long tradition of research on cetaceans, including the world's longest continuous study of killer whales.
The Consortium's mission is to conduct research on the relationships between fisheries and marine mammals in the North Pacific Ocean.
We conduct annual population surveys for rockfish and lingcod, and are working to re-establish these depleting populations.
The Howe Sound Group and our Fish Research Team conduct natural history studies and documentary work, and monitor depleted stocks.
We are one of several Canadian conservation groups arguing for a network of marine protected areas in British Columbia.
We create photomurals that allow you to view expansive images of B.C.'s normally hard to photograph underwater world.
Six Steller sea lions at the Vancouver Aquarium are participating in research designed to answer questions about diet, growth and metabolism.
