Keep It Clean - Mapping support for a tanker-free coast

Living Oceans is taking a stand against two tar sands proposals which could destroy pristine wilderness and bring supertankers to Canada's beautiful Pacific coast. We asked people across B.C. to get artsy and send us a photo sharing their opinion about supertankers and pipeline expansion. This map is part of our visual petition to remind politicians that an overwhelming majority of people want a tanker-free coast!

We know that we aren't alone in our concerns about the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project and the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Port Expansion. That’s why we’ve built this new map to serves as a visual petition to showcase the growing opposition to tanker traffic along the B.C. coast. The photo can be as simple or complex as you like – just make sure that the message is clear: No Tankers!

Our GIS Team

Living Oceans Society is at the forefront of mapping Canada's Pacific coast.

Our GIS team (Geographic Information Systems) maps the places and creatures we’re working to protect. For example, we show you where marine debris has been located and removed from sensitive shorelines, where salmon farms interrupt wild fish migration, and where marine planning for the Great Bear Sea can help to reduce conflict.

We also design custom maps for a fee! Address inquiries to the Director of Mapping at info [at] livingoceans.org.
