The BC Government looks to clean up more of the province’s shoreline through new funding. According to the provincial government, they are investing $8 million to 17 projects to tackle marine debris and plastic pollution along the province’s coastlines. The work is part of the Clean Coast, Clean Waters initiative, a fund that focuses on supporting the clean-up of the shoreline while removing derelict vessels in coastal communities. Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy George Heyman says communities deserve to enjoy an environment free of debris and pollution. “We now know the harms that plastic waste causes to marine life and also how it finds its way into human-food sources as it breaks down,” said Heyman. They say for this year, the projects getting the funding are expected to clean 1,900 kilometers of shoreline, remove 31 derelict vessels, and clean six derelict aquaculture sites. Of the 17 projects, 7 are run by First Nations, with only 7 from Vancouver Island. That includes Port Hardy, Campbell River, Alert Bay, and Sechelt.
