Field Notes from the Coast

Field Notes from the Coast is a collection of trip reports, route notes, and observations from hikes, coastal travel, diving and snorkelling, and alpine trips. Posts combine practical information—maps, logistics, and access details—with notes recorded along the way.

The focus is on exploring wild places, primarily along the Pacific Northwest coast, and documenting the landscapes encountered during those trips.

The blog is written by Shannon, a marine field researcher based on Vancouver Island who spends a lot of time working and travelling in coastal environments.
