Have you heard of Port of Vancouver’s Terminal 2 expansion?⠀
⠀
Port of Vancouver is proposing to double the size of its shipping terminal in the Fraser River Estuary.⠀
⠀
The construction of Terminal 2 will affect a key prey for Southern Resident killer whales, Fraser River Chinook salmon. In fact, the panel concluded these effects would be most significant for Chinook salmon from the South Thompson and lower parts of the Fraser River watershed – the only Fraser Chinook not yet considered endangered.⠀
⠀
The damage to these species and their habitat can not be mitigated.⠀
⠀
Please tell Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Jonathan Wilkinson, to say no to the Terminal 2 expansion and commit to protecting and restoring salmon and killer whales. Take action.⠀
