to protect our strait
to be a voice that politicians could not ignore
Northern Pulp's proposal to discharge 70-90 million litres of treated pulp waste into the Northumberland Strait daily has drawn broad concern from fishermen, citizens, businesses, municipalities, tourism associations, sport fishing groups and environmental organizations. They all say too much is at risk:
-
The health of the Northumberland Strait and its many marine species
-
$2 billion in fish exports annually
-
$200 million in Northumberland Shore Tourism revenue annually
-
$56+ million sport fishing industry annually
-
Small business
-
Property values
-
Social well-being and quality of life
July 6th was a day to raise our voices for
No Pipe in Our Strait.
