RESEARCH SKIFF TO STUDY MARINE ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION AT THE BAMFIELD MARINE SCIENCES CENTRE

我们对海洋生态学和进化的集体研究集中在海洋环境的理论，实验和应用工作。我们的研究有助于保护和维护海洋生态系统，重点是限制人类对生态系统的破坏，以及恢复和保护这些社区。我们进行研究，推进生态学和进化的基本概念。这项研究的性质要求在这些海洋环境中不断获得水生生物的自然种群。我们正在申请资金购买一艘小艇，用于在班菲尔德海洋科学中心进行研究，以支持我们在海洋生态学和进化方面的研究计划。我们的研究地点地处偏远，因此需要一艘符合加拿大交通部乘客安全准则的小艇，并为运输样本和科学潜水提供必要的基础设施。这些设备将是我们的研究计划，努力了解自然变化的生态和进化后果，有助于保护环境，确保生态系统的长期恢复力和可持续性，以实现生态完整性和人类福祉。

Our collective research on marine ecology and evolution focuses on theoretical, experimental, and applied work in marine environments. Our research contributes to the protection and preservation of ecosystems in oceans and seas, focusing on limiting human-induced damage to ecosystems, and on the restoration and conservation of these communities. We conduct research that advances fundamental concepts in ecology and evolution. The nature of this research requires continual access to natural populations of aquatic organisms in these marine environments. We are requesting funds to purchase a skiff for research at the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre in support of our research programs in marine ecology and evolution. The remote nature of our research sites necessitates a skiff that follows Transport Canada guidelines for passenger safety and provides the necessary infrastructure for transporting samples and for scientific diving. This equipment will be essential for our research programs that strive to understand the ecological and evolutionary consequences of variation in nature, contributing to the protection of the environment and ensuring long-term resilience and sustainability of ecosystems for both ecological integrity and human wellbeing.
