Exploring the nexus between community and conservation

Mission

TRIB Research is a non-profit organization that strives to connect local farms, fresh food, and fisheries research within our community. We are fisheries ecologists with diverse interests and a passion for a holistic approach to solving environmental, social, and economic challenges. We entered the field of fisheries ecology because we thoroughly enjoy outdoor exploration and want to participate in the regeneration and healing of the surrounding ecosystems and communities. To this end, we deem it necessary to find ethical and honest ways to fund research that provides genuine benefits for our local community and furthers scientific understanding. Our mission is to perform fisheries conservation research into unique species and life history types found in Northern California. One way we will accomplish this is by growing and sourcing primarily local ingredients which will be assembled into delightfully flavored meals to help fund our research.

Farming

Local organic farming is vital to the health of our planet and us. Caudal Fin Farm located in Bayside, CA is where we grow our food for events and operate a CSA, demonstrating the benefits of no-till regenerative agriculture.

Community

We look for innovative ways to connect our community with conservation. Providing delicious food and drink and a new model for Community Supported Research (CSR).

Fish

Limited funds for conservation research often fall to a handful of iconic or commercially important species. We aim to answer biologically significant questions about under studied life histories and species including summer steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Coastal Cutthroat Trout (O. clarki clarki).
