#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

We're strongly concerned about the proposed Coastal Gateway Port project in #BaynesSound, one of BC's most important marine ecosystems, especially as the project is connected to Deep Water Recovery, notorious for its environmental non-compliance. #shipbreaking #bcpoli
Six environmental organizations outline concerns about shipbuilding, repair and breaking in Union Bay
Six environmental organizations have sent their request for strict regulatory oversight to Prime Minister Mark Carney and B.C. Premier David Eby.

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!

#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?

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...
B.C. ship recycler penalized $46,105 for leaking toxic effluent into ocean
The penalties to Deep Water Recovery's Vancouver Island operations come after testing found toxic metal concentrations 160 times the provincial limit.

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.
February 19, 2025 at 12:04 AM
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

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?

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.
February 13, 2025 at 9:08 PM
#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!
February 13, 2025 at 4:02 PM
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
