Preserving the Pacific Coast

BC's wild and beautiful Pacific coast is under threat from salmon farms and the oil industry. Wild salmon, and the web of life they support, are in trouble: salmon farming, climate change, over-fishing, and habitat destruction have extinguished over 100 stocks of salmon in British Columbia. Oil and gas development threatens the entire Pacific coast.
 

BC's Killer Whales

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.

Offshore Oil and Gas

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 Salmon

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.
