  Climate action

  We’re in a climate emergency. In British Columbia, the emissions from oil and gas are now larger than the rest of the province’s other industries, making it impossible to achieve B.C.’s climate goals. We're advocating for the B.C. government to stop providing taxpayer subsidies to the fossil fuel industry and to instead choose to lead on climate action. At the grassroots level, we're collaborating with communities to organize and take action for local climate solutions and ocean health.

  Life below water

  Parks Canada has noted that the Georgia Strait is one of “the most at-risk natural environment in Canada.” At GSA, we focus on making the Canadian waters of the Salish Sea healthier and more resilient for everyone and every creature who lives here. We are strong advocates for long-term, climate-forward solutions to marine threats and habitat protection. These include pollution mitigation from oil spills, wastewater, open net-pen fish farms, boats and boating facilities, and the use of plastics. If we can protect southern resident orcas, we’ll protect the Salish Sea.
