Friday, March 13, 2015. MPAs Work Together for Healthy Oceans and Communities. Canada is part of a global effort to ensure that at least 10% of our oceans are in marine protected areas (MPAs) by 2020, but we currently only protect 1.3% of our total ocean estate. A couple of great examples of MPAs in British Columbia are the Endeavour Hydrothermal Vents Marine Protected Area and the Gwaii Haanas National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and Haida Heritage Site.

Tuesday, November 18, 2014. How to Sort the Wheat from the Chaff in the High-Stakes Game of Canadian Voter Approval. It is no co-incidence that this campaign is set to roll out in advance of the Canadian federal election next year. With the dollar plummeting along with the price of oil, there will be a concerted effort to convince Canadian voters that the petrostate is not the cause of the problem, but our salvation. Come what may, consider the source and follow the money. Posted by Karen Wristen. What y...

Water Blogged: Chilcotin is Tsilhqot'in
http://livingoceanssociety.blogspot.com/2014/07/chilcotin-is-tsilhqotin.html
Wednesday, July 2, 2014. By guest blogger Tim Lash. The unanimous Supreme Court of Canada ruling on the Tsilhqot'in case from 1983 is good news.
