CGL has been issued another fine for failing to comply with environmental requirements. The @BCOGC needs to take a stronger stance. From headwaters to the ocean, salmon–and the people who depend on them–deserve better from our environmental regulators.
@Dave_Eby#OceanConsvnUBC
@FishOceansCAN has eschewed their monitoring responsibilities while CGL construction continues to pollute salmon rivers and kill fish. Neither @Dave_Eby nor @JoyceMurray have mobilized their ministries/offices to issue stop work orders.

“When it comes to the ocean…there is science, there is policy, there is technology - but first of all there is love” - @andreamenard at the @IMPAC5 opening ceremony, reminding us all why we are here. #IMPAC5#oceanoptimism
Excited to learn more about Indigenous-led conservation from @thenarwhalca, very cool that they're creating a position specifically for this! Hoping to feel enriched and challenged learning more about these lands and waters.

If @SeanCGodwin called the new DFO fish farms report "one of the worst pieces of science I’ve ever seen come out of a government agency”, we (& Minister @JoyceMurray) should be *seriously* worried abt the muzzling of DFO scientists.

Go read @Reynolds_JohnD's fantastic thread concerning the new DFO fish farms report.
Sixteen of the wisest salmon scientists on our coast have released a constructive & important critique that I sincerely hope the Honourable @JoyceMurray lends due consideration.

Here is an open letter to The Honourable @JoyceMurray, Minister of Fisheries & Oceans, critiquing the recent report by her staff on links between salmon farms and sea lice. 7 key points are summarized in this thread. Try to read through to the last one. https://t.co/7gHJjryp44
"The flamingos only began visiting Mumbai in significant numbers in the 1990s. As the city grew, so did the volume of untreated sewage flowing into Thane Creek, nurturing the algae."

Disappointing that @Transport_gc is opting out of the UN heavy fuel oil ban for the Arctic. Hopefully there is a plan to help retrofit sea lift & other vessels soon so that toxic HFO emissions don't continue to pollute.
@Canada#OceanConsvnUBC
Russia and Canada opt out of voluntary heavy fuel oil ban for Arctic, while the European Arctic is already exempt under the voluntary ban

Thanks to @RochelleBaker1 it's easy to follow the lastest with the new Northern Shelf Bioregion network of #MPAs . 17 coastal FN are working with @DFO_Pacific to protect the Great Bear Sea; I hope these turn out to be more than paper parks.

"It's such a huge achievement," said NDP Minister @Josie_Osborne on the unveiling of B.C.'s blueprint for a vast network of marine protected areas (MPAs) after a decade of work between First Nations and senior governments. #biodiversity https://t.co/JGUEJ7Rouq
