Who we are

Strawberry Isle Marine Research Society (SIMRS) is a registered charity from Clayoquot Sound on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Unlike many research organizations, SIMRS monitors the marine environment on an ongoing daily, year round basis. We work closely with the marine community recording and monitoring observations and sightings throughout the year.

This comprehensive and systematic approach to monitoring has led to an in depth species specific database with immeasurable fine scale information that is generously shared with other researchers and institutions.
