Help us protect BC’s Glass Sponge Reefs
Please send a letter to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans asking the federal government to consider doing two things: 1. Immediately close the glass sponge reefs in the Strait of Georgia to any activities that would touch and destroy the glass sponges, including bottom trawling, prawn traps and anchoring. 2. Complete the marine protected areas for the Hecate Strait Glass sponge reefs by December 2013, and do not allow any bottom contact activities in the special management zone that could lead to sediment smothering and killing the glass sponges
