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

我们对海洋生态和演化的集体研究集中在海洋环境的理论、实验和应用工作上。我们的研究有助于保护和保存海洋生态系统，重点是限制人类对生态系统的破坏，以及恢复和养护这些社区。我们进行的研究推进了生态学和进化论的基本概念。这项研究的性质要求持续接触这些海洋环境中的水生生物自然种群。我们正在申请资金购买一艘小船，用于班菲尔德海洋科学中心的研究，以支持我们在海洋生态和进化方面的研究计划。我们研究地点的偏远性质需要一艘遵循加拿大交通部乘客安全指南的小艇，并为运输样品和科学潜水提供必要的基础设施。这些设备将对我们的研究项目至关重要，这些项目致力于了解自然界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弹性和可持续性，以确保生态系统的完整性和人类福祉。

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.
