From the Editor: The following information was received in my inbox this morning. ☺
The Pacific North Coast is in trouble. The federal government just backed out of a funding partnership that supported the health and sustainability of Canada’s Pacific marine environment. Why? Because the shipping industry convinced the government that this partnership and the establishment of marine protected areas might challenge their plans to run oil tankers through the home of orca whales, salmon, rare coral reefs, and thousands of people whose livelihoods depend on the ocean. The Prime Minister might think accommodating oil tankers is more important than healthy oceans, but we don’t, and we’re letting him know. Send a letter to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Fisheries, telling them that you think the well-being of the Pacific North Coast marine environment is more important than the oil tankers that threaten it.
