Last year, the B.C. government took great strides towards protecting the coast by releasing its first-ever Coastal Marine Strategy.
The B.C. Coastal Marine Strategy is an intersectional plan aiming to boost biodiversity, tackle marine pollution, and recover nearshore habitats with nature-based solutions – all the while advancing Indigenous coastal management, building up resilience to climate change, and working to revitalize coastal communities and economies.
Now, we must ensure the strategy doesn’t simply turn into another policy document, set to the side. To ensure the B.C. Coastal Marine Strategy is successful in reaching its 20-year vision and beyond, it must be supported by legislation. An accompanying legal framework will ensure that the policies outlined within the strategy are prioritized, long-lasting, and able to withstand political changes.
Stand up for the coast by sending a letter to Premier Eby, stating you want to see B.C.’s Coastal Marine Strategy enshrined into law!
