Since 2015, the CBT has granted an annual Biosphere Research Award of up to $20,000 to local research projects that will help enhance the vitality of our intertwined ecosystems and communities.

The CBT collaborates with the University of Washington-Tacoma to conduct ongoing water-quality research on the physical, chemical and biological oceanographic conditions in the fjords of Barkley and Clayoquot Sounds.

We are excited to announce that the 2020 Biosphere Research Award will help support a large research collaboration to better understand juvenile Chinook salmon survival and growth during their first year of life in the freshwater and marine environments of West Coast Vancouver Island (WCVI).
