Morgan Edwards, M.Sc. B.Sc.H RPBio.

Senior Biologist – Fish and Aquatic Ecosystems

Morgan is fascinated by forests, mountains, rivers, tide pools, and complex ecosystem interactions. He is passionate about conservation, sustainable living, and self-sufficiency through strong intentional connections to both nature and the human environment. Morgan loves elevating the people around him and facilitating the success of others through formal training and informal mentorship.

Morgan holds a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Marine and Freshwater Biology and a Master of Science in Integrative Biology, both from the University of Guelph. He is an aquatic ecology expert who thrives in tying together big ecosystem thinking with small-scale processes. Morgan is driven by the recognition and understanding of how everything in an ecosystem links together, from the insects and minnow in the smallest creeks to the millions of animals across vast oceans and forests.

Morgan grew up in southern Ontario before moving to British Columbia in 2012. Ever since he could walk, he has been enthralled by the natural world; perfectly content with standing in creeks, turning over rocks and logs, and exploring the intertidal. He was lucky enough to have parents who encouraged this excitement through field science summer camp and fostering the love of camping and fishing. Morgan finds peace and joy through movement in wilderness spaces. He enjoys cycling, climbing, hiking and camping, paddling, skiing, foraging, fishing, cooking, puzzles, crosswords, and trying new foods.
