Georgia Strait Alliance

Program: Creating the Clean Marine Capital of BC

Vital Sign: Environment

Total Grant: $16,000

Georgia Strait Alliance logoThrough the Clean Marine BC voluntary eco-accreditation program, Georgia Strait Alliance (GSA) collaborates to minimize impacts to the shoreline and marine environment from recreational boating – discharge of sewage and grey water, fuel spills, use of toxic paints/products, and disruptions to wildlife. With only 7 of 50 Capital Regional District marinas currently participating, GSA will concentrate efforts here, increasing access to healthy shores and public awareness of this vital issue, with the long-term goal of Victoria as Clean Marine Capital of BC. Partnering with PlasticShore, GSA and marinas will also help to transform marine and tsunami debris into recycled products.
