“At a time when we need to be doing everything we can to protect our marine ecosystems and our oceans ... we're creating more pollution that is completely avoidable along our sensitive marine waterways."

We advocate to protect local marine ecosystems from pollution caused by abandoned boats. Derelict vessels are an issue for wildlife, Indigenous food security, navigation, public safety and local economies in the Salish Sea. It’s a complex problem to solve but there are solutions!

Whether you are experienced or new to boating we want to hear from you! Everything from distance regulations for mammals & eelgrass meadows, to what to do for an oil spill. You’re sure to be a greener boater when you’re done. PLUS be entered to win this gorgeous pin and mug: www.tfaforms.com/5163605
