Ocean Wise Research seeks new insights about the health of our oceans and the animals that inhabit them. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, the institution deploys over 30 researchers to the Canadian Arctic, the Northeast Pacific, the St. Lawrence estuary, and internationally. Its areas of research include marine mammals, ocean pollution, microplastics, and biodiversity. Readers looking for summaries of the latest research in lay terms can click on "Media" in the menu to access articles and press releases. Some recent items covered new washing machine lint traps that could prevent consumer textile microfibers from polluting the oceans (July 20, 2021), kelp forest conservation in Chile (July 21, 2021), and the pandemic's effect on single-use food packaging litter in oceans (June 16, 2021). For more technical information, readers can find links to published research papers in the "Publications" section of the site. Thalassophiles may also want to check out the Pollution Tracker tool to explore an interactive map of ocean contaminant levels along the coast of British Columbia. To find the tool, readers should scroll to the menu at the bottom of the page and click "Ocean Pollution," then "Pollution Tracker" in the menu on the left side of the page.
