Working toward an Oil-Free Coast

One of the greatest threats to habitat quality on the BC coast is increased oil transport through these waters. The threat of harm from diluted bitumen spills and increased vessel traffic are the motivation for our work. Raincoast has worked for more than ten years against oil expansion projects in BC, through on-the-ground research, participation as intervenors in CEAA and NEB review processes, legal action in the courts, and grassroots activism.  The projects in our efforts for an Oil-Free Coast are listed below.

How much do vessels raise background noise? These figures show the average elevation of underwater noise caused by vessel presence, measured in decibels above natural background levels, for each hour of the day, at Monarch Head, Saturna Island. The colour of each wedge reinforces the magnitude: deeper blue indicates lower excess noise, while teal and green indicate higher noise elevation.
