Potential Climate Change Impacts And Actions To Adapt In Nearshore And Estuarine Areas Of Howe Sound/Atl’Ḵa7tsem, Jennifer Chapman
Potential Climate Change Impacts And Actions To Adapt In Nearshore And Estuarine Areas Of Howe Sound/Atl’Ḵa7tsem, Jennifer Chapman
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
Howe Sound/Atl’ḵa7tsem is a fjord located near Vancouver, BC with both nearshore and estuarine habitats and communities. The coastal and estuarine habitats in the fjord are highly vulnerable to impacts from climate change (e.g., sea level rise, increased storm frequency). In order to better inform local citizens and decision-makers about possible actions for climate change adaptation in these estuarine and nearshore zones, a new report on the area’s coastal health (Ocean Watch: Howe Sound/Atl’ḵa7tsem report update) will be released in 2020. This report updates the current state of coastal ocean health in Howe Sound/Atl’ḵa7tsem since an initial report was released …
Progress On Eccc’S Contribution To A New Initiative Component That Focuses On Marine Vessel Emissions And Mitigations In The Salish Sea., Katelyn Wells
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
As a result of the National Energy Board’s (NEB) Reconsideration Report on the Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) project there are accommodation measures that are intended to mitigate, avoid or lessen potential effects associated with the project and related marine shipping. Environment Climate Change Canada (ECCC), along with other federal agencies, is working to implement the Salish Sea Initiative. One aspect in particular is analysis related to cumulative effects and mitigation measures for regional marine vessel air pollutant emissions. Marine vessel traffic is a significant source of air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions in the Salish Sea, affecting air quality in …
