Coastal habitats and salt marshes like Mermaid Creek in Sidney, BC are disappearing fast. Our case study reveals how current provincial coastal management is failing our ecosystems. We then suggest solutions that the Province can carry out under the BC #CoastalMarineStrategy. #bcpoli

Sea-level rise threatens Vancouver Island communities Coastal homes, infrastructure, and ecosystems face rising tides and intensifying storms as climate change accelerates

BC's Coastal Marine Strategy provides a ray of hope for coastal communities dealing with sea level rise and shoreline erosion. In order for this strategy to bring the needed safety and security to coastal communities, it needs to be enshrined in law.

Today, local gov leaders at Association of Vancouver Island & Coastal Communities passed a resolution to urge #BCgov to legislate the #CoastalMarineStrategy. 🎉 A strong BC coastal law will ensure that the Strategy is successfully brought to life. www.wcel.org/media-releas... #bcpoli #AVICC

Hi, @bsky.app! We’re excited to introduce you to our campaign, Blueprint for the Coast.

In 2024, BC released its 1st #coastalmarinestrategy - a 20yr vision to better protect & manage the #coast.

Now, let’s ensure this strategy is implemented, resourced, & enshrined in law.
