1/3 With the longest coastline in the world, #Canada’s economy and culture rely on the health of the ocean.

Climate change is becoming a bigger risk to marine ecosystems, impacting water temperature, ocean chemistry, and oxygen levels.

[Blueprint for the Coast @Blueprint4Coast]

Have you read our latest blog? We whipped up five case studies that outline how the #BC #coastalmarinestrategy plans to address your top #ocean related concerns like shellfish bed closures, hardened shorelines, derelict vessels, and more. ⛵

Take action 📣 We need your help to ask the #BC Government to invest in the #CoastalMarineStrategy, ensuring it has enough funds for its implementation.

Budgets are tight and we can't afford this strategy to fail! Send your letter by June 20th.

Happy World Oceans Day! From conserving endangered species to building a blue economy, we’re working to ensure healthy oceans for generations to come.

[Indigenous Environmental Network @IENearth]

For millennia, Indigenous Peoples have traveled, harvested, and lived in deep relationship with the oceans — waters that nourish our food systems, economies, and lifeways across Mother Earth.
Traditional Indigenous Knowledge sustains this sacred, reciprocal bond, protecting the oceans that have always protected us.

🌊 Recognizing Indigenous stewardship as essential to sustaining ocean health is not just acknowledgment — it’s a call to action. Ocean justice begins with honoring Indigenous rights, knowledge, and sovereignty.

On #WorldOceansDay and #NationalRiversDay, it’s important to celebrate Indigenous-led conservation initiatives that protect marine ecosystems for future generations.🌊

The world is falling short on 30x30 — and much of what’s called “protected” actually isn’t.

Bottom trawling, a practice Oceana Board Member Dr. Pauly has likened to “picking flowers with a bulldozer,” still takes place in 90% of Europe’s marine protected areas #UNOC3 @France24_en https://t.co/NSTQsmYYIu

🐻🌲 Nature isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s the foundation of a healthy, thriving BC. From clean water to wildfire resilience, biodiversity supports everything we depend on.

Here's why BC needs a law to protect biodiversity: https://t.co/iNF3yMeKBV

It’s #OrcaActionMonth! Have you seen boats flying this whale warning flag in B.C. coastal waters?

These flags are raised when there are whales in the area. It signals to others to be aware, stay alert and follow the marine mammal regulations! https://t.co/exClEfXIpe

[DFO Pacific @DFO_Pacific]

June is #OrcaActionMonth!
Review Canada’s marine mammal regulations to make sure you’re being whale wise! https://t.co/Y0E7z8muNC

One-third of Canada’s wild fish populations are at risk—threatening food, jobs, and coastal communities. But, recovery is possible if the Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government enforces existing laws and follows the science. https://t.co/1WE2sjYf9O via @TheHillTimes
