About Tula Foundation

Bring video stories of coastal science to the world. The Hakai Institute conducts leading-edge, long-term scientific research on the coastal margin of British Columbia. Our set of interlocking programs blend technology and science to better understand the coastal margin of BC and beyond. We eschew artificial boundaries both scientific and geographic, as our interdisciplinary teams work from ice fields to watersheds to the nearshore and coastal oceans. We link with regional and global networks. We integrate the disciplines. We fill the seams of coastal science.
