Research
As a small organization with limited resources, we focus on high-impact projects that tackle pressing environmental challenges and deliver actionable, locally relevant solutions to our communities and environments.
Our Approach
To achieve our mission, all of our research is designed with this three-pillar approach: Collaboration, Innovation and Accessibility
Collaboration
CCS brings together scientists, students, Indigenous knowledge holders, and community members, fostering collaboration to amplify impact. By combining diverse expertise, we address complex environmental challenges that no single organization can solve alone.
Innovation
We believe the dynamic ecosystems of the West Coast require bold, creative approaches to research. By harnessing cutting-edge technology, incorporating traditional ecological knowledge, and embracing innovative ideas, we pursue projects that challenge conventional methods and redefine what’s possible in environmental science.
Accessibility
Science drives meaningful change only when it’s accessible. We believe that removing barriers to research—through education, collaboration, and open dialogue—helps people connect with environmental stewardship and engage in meaningful ways.
Get Involved
Whether you’re a student, community member, not-for-profit organization, Indigenous knowledge holder, or government agency, we are always eager to expand our research network and engage new collaborators.
