Environmental pollution in British Columbia: A century of declining watershed and coastal health
=0D=0A=Canada has the longest coastline in the world. This raises fundamental questions about how best to understand, let alone protect, marine biota from the complex blend of 500,000 chemicals used, lost, or disposed of, in consumer or industrial activities. Dr. Peter S. Ross, Senior Scientist at Raincoast Conservation Foundation, is announcing a new community-oriented water pollution program—Healthy Waters—that will track priority pollutants from land to sea. Dr. Ross will provide a short history of pollution in British Columbia, and present examples of topical concerns including hydrocarbons, PCBs and microplastics, all under the mantra of healthy salmon, whales and people.
