BC Marine Trails: Plastics Clean Up

South Brooks Plastics Clean Up: Located on West Coast Vancouver Island

South Brooks Plastics & Debris Clean Up

The BC Marine Trails is working with two other groups this year to remove plastics and debris in the South Brooks area. Rugged Coast Research Society, who is partnering with BC Marine Trails and will accompany our BC Marine Trails team, has identified the area as one the two main areas of concentrated plastics. They will also supply transportation for some volunteers.

Your donation will go directly to help us clean the coast. Plastics is a serious environmental problem. Donate here.

The Rugged Coast Research Society is a newly formed (2017) society developed to research and restore remote coastal habitats along the BC's remote coast. Research results are shared with stakeholders that may want to use the results to better understand the BC coast and collaboratively restore it.

Chrysta's Salish Sea Journey

Chrysta's 22-day Journey on the Salish Sea Marine Trail

The BC Marine Trails is working on closing some gaps between sites on this trail. We are working currently on getting an estimate to complete an archeological impact assessment for Apodaca Provincial Park, where BCMT is lobbying BC Parks to create a marine trail campsite as part of the Salish Sea Marine Trail.

Chrysta is a young woman who completed the Salish Sea Marine Trail on her own in search of some quiet healing time. Read her article in our Coastal Journeys section of the BCMT website.
