SAVE THE SALISH SEA!
Posted on July 11, 2013 by webmaster@affinitybridge.com
I am very excited to announce the launch of Save the Salish Sea, our new
campaign in collaboration with the Wilderness Committee to protect our unique
corner of the ocean from the threat of fossil fuel expansion.
The Salish Sea is one of the world’s most spectacularly beautiful and
ecologically rich bodies of water, stretching from the north end of the Strait
of Georgia to Puget Sound in Washington State. Here, hundreds of rivers meet the
sea, creating a unique coastal environment that supports a huge variety of
marine life, including wild salmon and endangered killer whales. Tourists,
businesses and residents alike are drawn by the region’s mild climate, unique
geography, fantastic quality of life and the stunning natural beauty of the
Salish Sea.

All of this is at risk. Right now, plans to triple the capacity of Kinder
Morgan’s pipeline running from the Alberta tar sands to the BC coast, and to
dramatically increase coal shipments from our ports, risk turning the Salish Sea
into a superhighway for fossil fuel exports.
If these projects are approved, BC will be responsible for millions of tonnes of
extra carbon emissions and go from being a green leader to a global climate
change export hub. And the magnificent Salish Sea will be under the constant
threat of a catastrophic oil spill that would devastate the marine environment,
coastal communities and BC’s entire economy for decades to come.
Save the Salish Sea is a new rallying point for concerned citizens: a place to
find out more about fossil fuel development in the region, come together, and
take action to protect the Salish Sea. So please take a moment to explore our
new website, and if you have a bit more time, write an email to Premier Christy
Clark asking her to stand up to the federal government and take back our power
to say ‘no’ to projects like Kinder Morgan that aren’t in the best interests of
British Columbians.
For us here at GSA, Save the Salish Sea is a natural extension of our efforts to
protect the Georgia Strait from the threat of increased tanker traffic. We want
to highlight the combined impacts of fossil fuel exports in the region, both to
our local waters and our global climate, and contribute to the national
conversation about how we make the transition to a clean energy future. By
banding together with allies from all corners of the Salish Sea, we are building
on our strong history of working across the Canada-US border to protect our
shared waters, and ramping up the pressure on decision-makers in both countries.
We love feedback, so please get in touch with any thoughts, questions or ideas
about the campaign. Now that we’re off and running, we’ll be holding a series of
town hall meetings and other events across the Salish Sea this summer and fall,
so stay tuned to our events calendar to find one near you – I hope to see you
there!

2 THOUGHTS ON “SAVE THE SALISH SEA!”

Wonder what can be done about sunken tug in porpoise bay in sechelt. When it
sunk it was luckily had no engine or fuel. But still not safe for the
enviroment. There are more boats in porpoise bay at risk of sinking and many
live aboards flushing human waste into our small bay. It does not change
water much kind of like false creek. Maybe you you help to put pressure on
giver to deal with unsafe boats polluting our small stagnant bay.

It is a common story along our shores of pollution from problem vessels.
We are heartened to hear of the recently announced federal Abandoned Boat
Program to clean up derelict, abandoned and wrecked vessels. Although the
funding is small for the scope of the problem, it is a start. I will be in
your area next week, speaking to marinas and harbours about the problems,
and ways our Clean Marine BC program can help. We will continue to work
with boaters, marinas, and all levels of government to find solutions.
