Details:
Join Pacific Wild's Marine Specialist Sydney Dixon on a deep dive into the importance of marine protection in B.C. and what the next decade will bring for Canada's oceans. This presentation will provide a short overview of the ABCs of marine protected areas (MPAs), explore some of B.C.'s existing MPAs, discuss the future of marine protection in B.C. and show you how you can help with hands-on action and citizen science.
British Columbia has one of the most amazing ocean regions on the planet – a place where ancient temperate rainforests meet a highly productive and rich, marine environment. Today, the richness of our oceans is under threat from the demands of industry and climate change. Marine protected areas provide a safeguard for the ecosystem and cultural services we all depend on, yet less than 14% of Canada's waters are currently protected.
Sydney is a marine scientist, educator, photographer and captain born and raised on the coast of British Columbia. Her passion for the ocean began at a young age with a fascination for tide pools. Sydney studied marine science and geography at the University of Victoria and began her career in environmental monitoring. When she's not at Pacific Wild, Sydney can be found in the Ocean Conservation Lab at the University of Victoria where she works as a research assistant or out on the water behind the wheel of a boat.
So please join us at 7:00pm at the Garth Homer Centre located at 813 Darwin Avenue, Victoria BC V8X 2X7.
