The Concerned Citizens of #BaynesSound are working hard to protect the environment and their community from harmful #shipbreaking practices. If you'd like to support their efforts, check out their fundraiser below! We're proud to support CCOBS through our Environmental Dispute Resolution Fund.

The herring are coming! The sea lions are ready! But #unregulated #unpermitted #shipbreaking #retrofits threaten #BaynesSound with toxic effluent! Sound the alarm! #DFO #ECCC enforce the Fisheries Act! 13 Warnings. 1 Pollution Order. Environment Appeal ruling! nrced.gov.bc.ca/records;keyw...
Do you love #clamchowder & #BaynesSound? Demand #DFO & #ECCC enforce Fisheries Act. 13 Warnings, 1 Pollution Abatement Order & Environment Appeal Board (EAB) decision issued by #BC proves that the #shipbreaking site located in #BaynesSound is discharging heavy metals 1600% over limits.
Hey, anyone out there like #clamchowder as much as I do? If so, please support us in ending #shipbreaking #shipretrofits in #BaynesSound, where 68% of #BC shellfish are produced. #DFO #ECCC continues to allow toxic discharge 1600% over limit into marine environment with zero enforcement. #Oysters
Read the #BC Ministry of Environment Environment Appeal Board decision regarding #DWR #shipbreaking #hazardous #waste site in #BaynesSound. #DYK #getinformed #herring #whales #salmon #birds #shellfish #clamchowder @Seaspan #toxic #lead #cadmium #marinelife #shipping

I do not understand how anyone from #BaynesSound area remains silent on #unregulated #unpermitted #shipbreaking. 13WARNINGS. 1 Pollution Order. 1 EAB report all state Proven levels higher under #MillerFreeman than at highway. 1600% over toxic limits! #DWR bought site as is where is. #ECCC? #DFO?
#WorldWhaleDay #DYK that #herring is critical for #ecosystem in #BC and that #environmentca & #DFO_Pacific allow proven acutely #toxic effluent from #unregulated #unpermitted #shipbreaking into #BaynesSound where one-third of #BC herring spawn?
Wouldn't it be amazing if @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social finally woke up and realized that #BaynesSound; responsible for 68% of #BC shellfish & one-third of #BC herring should be protected! An environmentally sensitive area (EBSA) an important bird area (IBA) BUT #ECCC allows toxic discharge 1600% over!

#Seaspan @bcndp.bsky.social @bcgreencaucus.bsky.social @cpawsbc.bsky.social #shipbreaking #shiprepair 3 of 7 ecologically sensitive areas (EBSA on Vancouver Island east coast are in #BaynesSound! NOT the place for #unpermitted #unregulated #shipbreaking.
#DYK This facility doesn't require permits? It discharges #ACUTELY TOXIC Effluent into #marine environment which is an #EBSA and where one-third of BC herring spawn. A cleaner #BaynesSound, free of heavy metals, means marine environment isn't #poisoned! Please help us!

Jan 22 Warning letter to #DWR about toxic discharge
A huge shout out to @ngoshipbreaking.bsky.social @wcelaw.bsky.social @gordjohns.bsky.social for supporting #Canada's adoption of international #shipbeaking #regulations. This facility in #BaynesSound should have #permits #regulations #oversight. No #beaching vessels >500GT across foreshore!
Gord Johns letter to DFO ECCC for Canada adoption of international shipbeaking regulations
January 22 WARNINGS TOXIC Results
#DYK that #Canada has the longest coastline in the world but no regulations to protect it from #unregulated #unpermitted #shipbreaking? Please support @gordjohns.bsky.social & #BaynesSound to stop #toxic #discharge 1600% over limits. @josieosborne.bsky.social
Will the #CoastalMarineStrategy protect ecologically sensitive areas from #shipbreaking? #ECCC & #DFO have abdicated responsibility to the province and they abdicate to the #Feds. Who is accountable for enforcement of #FisheriesAct? 1600% OVER toxic levels, we are being #poisoned. #BaynesSound
BC's Ministry of Environment fines Deep Water Recovery for leaching heavy metal effluent into #BaynesSound in its shipbreaking operation. The question is who will enforce it? www.vancouverisawesome.com/highlights/b...
