New Measures to Protect Southern Resident Killer Whales in BC
The Government of Canada has announced new measures and increased funding to protect the endangered Southern Resident killer whales of BC’s coast.
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are a powerful tool for recharging marine abundance on our coast.
The Great Bear Sea Marine Protected Area Network will protect 30 percent of the Great Bear Sea by shielding fish nurseries, feeding grounds, and productive marine habitats against the threat of industrial pollution and overfishing.
Imagine the BC coast once again teeming with fish and marine life.
Imagine people and communities once again making a good living from the sea.
Let’s work together to restore true prosperity on our coast. It’s a no-brainer.
What are MPAs and how can I learn more about them?
What is the Great Bear Sea and why should I care about it?
“The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too.”
Vincent Van Gogh
The Government of Canada has announced new measures and increased funding to protect the endangered Southern Resident killer whales of BC’s coast.
Scientists are increasingly concerned about the effects of increased vessel shipping, and the underwater noise pollution that comes with it, on BC’s marine species that rely on sound and echolocation to communicate, navigate, and hunt.
