Applied research supporting coastal ecosystems

We design watershed scale monitoring and restoration projects, analyze complex datasets, and deliver clear reporting that supports funding, planning, and policy.

Big Ideas, Real Impact.

Coastal Ecosystems Research Collective (CERC) is an applied research and consulting collective rooted on the Pacific coast of British Columbia.

We work alongside Indigenous Nations, community organizations, and stewardship partners to understand ecosystems, restore function, and support decisions that matter — for salmon, for watersheds, and for future generations.

We are not a traditional consulting firm. Our work is guided first by respect, reciprocity, and long-term outcomes — not billable hours or growth targets. We exist to help good work happen, and to help it endure.
