[news] B.C.'s Coast: Statement of Practice AND the Harmful Effects of Seismic Testing

[Resist!ca]

To: Mr. John Efford, Minister of Natural Resources - Efford.J at parl.gc.ca cc: seismic-sismique at dfo-mpo.gc.ca RE: B.C.'s coast; Statement of Practice AND the harmful effects of seismic testing I have just been informed that the Government of Canada and the province of British Columbia, Newfoundland, Labrador and Nova Scotia have just released a Statement of Practice on seismic Noise in the marine environment. It is clear that, this statement is the first in a series of steps being taken by industry and government to start "exploring" for oil off of Canada's west coast. The Statement of Practice on Seismic Noise flies in the face of a moratorium on oil and gas development (including exploration) while ignoring widespread public opposition. 75% of British Columbians surveyed during the public review process have already made clear Canada's West Coast should stay oil and gas free including from harmful impacts of seismic testing.
