| Searching for Forage Fish Eggs | October 13, 2020 - 3:32pm |
I’m a new employee on the MABRRI team, working on the fish forage project! Forage fish lay their nearly microscopic eggs in the sand. Therefore, being part of the project has diverted my thinking to focus on the small and important creatures in food chains that can pretty easily be overlooked. Now when I go to beaches, I think a lot about the sand under my feet. On October 1st, myself and another student were taught how to conduct sampling for forage fish eggs. Sampling has to be done at low tide so that the substrate we’re sampling is exposed and not underwater. |

| New! BC Ministry of Health COVID 19 Research Grant | December 2, 2020 - 8:26am |
This new grant provides up to $25,000 to supports research projects in specific areas where the Ministry of Health has deemed research is urgently needed and not well enough covered by existing programs of research identified in the province as part of their recent Research and Knowledge Mobilization Strategy. Applications to this program must address one or more of the below priorities: |
| CGS-M Examples | November 3, 2022 - 3:06pm | |
| COVID & Resuming Research Framework | September 21, 2020 - 1:09pm |
The site provides direction on how on-campus and field research activity can resume in phases, to be implemented when circumstances related to COVID-19 in BC will allow the gradual lifting of activity restrictions. The process outlined is sufficiently general that it can be followed throughout the coming months, with the evolving stages of lifting activity restrictions by the Provincial Health Officer (PHO) and associated with the provincial four phase plan for re-opening the economy. |
