Herring and The Protection of Natural shorelines in the Salish Sea
February 22, 2021 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Online Free webinar hosted by Comox Valley Nature, register below
Herring and The Protection of Naturalshorelines in the Salish Sea
In keeping with its educational and civic mandate ComoxValley Nature is happy to offer a week-long series of 5 free public lectures onthe state, importance and protection of natural green shorelines for herring andforage fish starting Monday February22 and ending Friday February 26 at 10am.
Monday: Dr. John Nielson (DFO) will kickthings off with an overview of the state of herring off Cape Lazo.
That will be followed on Tuesday by the UVicEnvironmental Law Centre presentation.
On Wednesday February 24 internationally Dr. Ignacio Vilchis from San Diego Zoo who isinternationally recognized for his work on the negative impacts of hardshoreson seabird populations will present “Assessingseabird ecological correlates to inform conservation.”
On Thursday February 25, Dr. Robert Rangeleyfrom the non-profit “Oceana” will present a report on Canadian Fisheriesand the importance of forage fishin “Rebuildingfisheries: unlocking Canada’s potential for abundant oceans .
On Friday theseries will close with Salish SeaHerring Archaeology ,an eye-opening overview of the state of herringbefore contact, as revealed fromarchaeological reconstructions, byUVic’s Dr. Iain McKechnie.
The series is hostedfor Comox Valley Nature by the Canadian Society of Environmental Biologists. The webinars are free and open to the public.URL’s for registration is can be found at the CVN website under the heading“CSEB Webinars”, https://comoxvalleynaturalist.bc.ca/.
The demise of the Salish Sea’s unique population of our resident killer confirms what biologists increasingly recognize: that the Salish Sea is “a collapsed ecosystem.” The food chains that support the chinook salmon populations on which orcas depend have been largely driven to extinction through the destruction of beaches and estuaries that support forage fish on which chinook depend as well as through overfishing.
Although overfishing is an important current public concern, shoreline armoring is no less responsible, even though it is politically overlooked. The state of Washington has recently passed very progressive laws that place the responsibility squarely on landowners, industries and municipalities to reduce and even remove hard armoring detrimental to fish habitat. To restore BC’s fisheries to a semblance of their original productivity BC must take similar steps. The University of Victoria’s Environmental Law Centre recently published an important report: “Saving Orcas by Protecting Fish-Spawning Beaches”. The report explores legal avenues to enable similar legislation within Canadian law.
CVN is a non-profit always welcomes new members. Inquiries should bedirected to Dr. L. Maingon (250 3310143). ( Parties interested in the status of herring in the Salish Sea areencouraged to also sign up for the Honrby Island Herringfest.)

■ Re-Imagining Agriculture
Re-Imagining Agriculture
February 24, 2021 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Free online webinar, register below, from Creatively United.org
Adapting to a New Climate Reality Register Now
Water required foragriculture is becoming a major concern for water and food security across theprovince of British Columbia. This issue will only get worse over the comingdecade as the climate dries and warms. Many parts of BC will face significantwater shortages with growing conflicts in allocation between groundwater andstream flows and between supporting irrigated agriculture and meeting theenvironmental needs for salmon and resident fish.
Consequently, the BCgovernment is tackling this major risk to water security with a newly craftedstrategy supported by a Watershed Security Fund.
A key part of this strategywill be to make more efficient use of water used in the agricultural sector.There are many farmers who have secured more water than they need throughhistoric water licensing. There are even more farmers who cannot secure waterrequired for expansion to meet the growing demands for food.
Learn how a newapproach to reallocate water can resolve these conflicts and gain insight intoa variety of resources and information relating to regenerative farming.
About our Speakers:
Ted van der Gulik is an agricultural water specialist who has spent 35 years as an innovator in irrigation and water management. He has won four BC Premier’s Awards for finding creative solutions to water use in the agricultural sector.
He has devised a water calculator model which can accurately predict the precise amount of water required for a wide range of crops and soil types throughout the province. You will be able to see this model in action in this webinar and witness how it will contribute to greater water security under the continuing changing climate.
Dr. Jim Schaefer is the founder,chairman and president of Soil Technologies Corp., a company that develops,manufactures and internationally distributes a family of natural technologiesto serve eco agriculture with sustainable regenerative solutions.
He is also a Senior Research Scholar at MaharishiInternational University in Fairfield, Iowa, home to one of the first MasterDegrees dedicated 100% to regenerative organic agriculture, and one of thefounding Founding Advisory Board Members of the Vedic Organic AgricultureInstitute.
Dr. Schaefer is alsothe president and board member of Partners for World Peace, a non-profitcorporation engaged in philanthropic work worldwide to support the improvementin the quality of life for all people on earth. He resides in Fairfield, Iowa
