Blue Ecology – a workshop interweaving First Nations cultural knowledge and Western science
Tickets
Nov 28 all-day

The Partnership for Water Sustainability in BC is hosting a Blue Ecology Workshop. This partnership for water sustainability will unveil a program for interweaving First Nations cultural knowledge and Western science.

Rivershed Society of BC founder, Fin Donnelly, is speaking during the workshop’s morning session “Watershed, Rivershed, What’s the Difference?”. See the agenda here.

On November 28, join them in Richmond for this important workshop on watersheds, the water balance and restorative development. Adapting to climate change requires transformational changes in how we value nature and service land.

The workshop is an outreach and professional development event, held under the umbrella of the Georgia Basin Inter-Regional Education Initiative, and designed to further the conversation in Metro Vancouver about moving towards “Sustainable Watershed Systems, through Asset Management”

Salmon of the Lower Fraser River and Estuary: Current Threats and Potential Solutions
Tickets
Jan 2 @ 7:30 pm

Delta Nature presents Salmon of the Lower Fraser River and Estuary: Current Threats and Potential Solutions with Raincoast Conservation Foundation Lower Fraser program coordinator Dave Scott Tuesday in Tsawwassen.

The Fraser watershed hosts a remarkable diversity of wild chinook, chum, coho, pink and sockeye salmon, all of which rely on habitats in the Lower Fraser. Since European colonization this area has undergone a vast transformation, and the quantity and quality of salmon habitats have been drastically reduced, however, millions of salmon continue to annually return to the watershed supporting First Nations, recreational and commercial fisheries. Today, a number of development proposals threaten to push the cumulative effects of human impacts past a tipping point.

Scott holds a Masters degree in resource management from SFU. His work with RCF has included leading the Fraser estuary juvenile salmon research program, working with local conservation organizations on salmon habitat in the Lower Fraser, and submitting evidence as an intervenor in the reviews for the Trans Mountain expansion and Roberts Bank Terminal 2 projects.

The event is set for Tuesday, Jan. 2 at 7:30 p.m. at Benediction Lutheran Church, 5575-6th Ave., Tsawwassen.

All ages are welcome and the event is free.
