During the summer of 2007, Marine Matters had
booths at
two exciting community events, Skidegate Days and the Tlell Fall Fair.
Both booths focused on learning more about the amazing creatures that
inhabit the oceans, promoting ocean stewardship and, of course, having
fun!
In addition to community events, Marine
Matters
hosted a number of guest speakers on Haida Gwaii this past year. Issues
such as Aquatic Invasive Species, Chronic Oil and Oiled Seabirds and
the Oil & Gas Moratorium were discussed. Thanks to everyone who
came out and participated in these workshops. Keep your eyes and ears
peeled for more exciting events in 2008!
