Preserving the Pacific Coast

Oil and water don't mix!
The threat of coastal oil and gas development looms over BC's wild and beautiful Pacific coast. For over thirty years there has been a federal moratorium in place to protect Canada's Pacific coast from oil and gas development.

Wild Pacific salmon – Sockeye, Coho, Chinook, Chum and Pink – are the lifeblood of the West Coast, supporting Orcas, Grizzlies, other wildlife, forests, First Nations, coastal communities and tourism. Wild salmon are in trouble.

BC is renowned for its tremendous ecological wealth and variety of wildlife.  From Vancouver Island marmots, spotted owls, western bluebirds and grizzly bears we have the greatest biodiversity in all of Canada.
