This week, we checked our herring curtain for the first time after installation last week. No herring spawn yet… but a variety of shrimp, some snails, and an anemone were found! We are very excited about this project and can't wait for spawning to start! A BIG thanks to our volunteers for supporting this work and learning with us.

Brigid is our new Environmental Education and Events Coordinator, with a deep passion for marine and coastal conservation. Growing up exploring the natural world around North Vancouver and now living in Pender Harbour, Brigid has combined their love for nature with hands-on experience in environmental consulting and wildlife monitoring.

We’re excited to share that the Loon Foundation has received $300,000 from Island Coastal Economic Trust, helping move the Pacific Ocean Discovery Stationcloser to opening! Support like this allows us to continue the careful work of building a space dedicated to learning, curiosity, and connection to our coastal ecosystems.

After a significant leadership transition, we have welcomed seven new Board of Directors, bringing together a team of experts in environmental science, business, community leadership, and communications to guide the Loon Foundation and the next phase of the Pacific Ocean Discovery Station (PODS) project.
