Victoria Chapter Discovers Devastating Debris on Remote Nigei Island.PLEASE SHARE.

Please share this….. It’s no secret that the plastics and marine debris that are severely infecting our oceans has now become a local, not just global problem. This is a short film about a recent discovery on Nigei Island in the majestic Queen Charlotte Straight- just north of Port Hardy (off the eastern tip of Vancouver Island). What we found, was nothing short of devastating.Every year volunteers from the Victoria Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation choose a remote area and spend the weekend removing plastics and marine debris from the shorelines. In a small cove a the end of the beach we discovered what looked like a blender of plastics, rope, & styrofoam- the ground no longer visible. A heartbreaking reality that can no longer be ignored, this IS what’s happening and will continue to happen to our precious coastlines here in BC if we don’t rally together, pool resources and take action. For more information please contact your local Surfrider Chapter to discover how you can help advocate for our Oceans’ health. I’d like to extend a sincere thank you to all the donors and volunteers that care for our beautiful coastlines here in beautiful British Columbia. We CAN make a difference!
