Please note that we will be closed this Friday, October 27th as our staff attend the BC Shellfish Growers Association's Annual General Meeting and Workshops. We're looking forward to hearing about new and exciting projects in the industry, as well as sharing our progress in the research hatchery.

We will resume regular operating hours the following Monday.

Thanks! - Deep Bay Staff

Beach Biological Survey

Are you interested in Citizen Science? In honour of World Oceans Day we are hosting a free community education event, aimed at better understanding all the different plants and animals that live on our shores. We are looking for a group of dedicated and interested 'citizen' scientists to help us get a better picture of the species that live at our beach. With the help of experts, volunteers will record and submit data about the species they observed while at their designated research area.
