SUMMARY:Early Summer 2023 BC Bat Count
DESCRIPTION:A simple way to support bats is to participate in the BC Annual Bat Count this Summer. The BC Community Bat Program is requesting colony reports and volunteer assistance for this citizen-science initiative that encourages residents to count bats at local roost sites. \nLearn More

SUMMARY:Free NEMO Talk: Generation Restoration - feeding hope and resilience back into kelp forests and the community (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Salish Sea kelp ecosystems are among the most vital and most threatened ecosystems in Canadian waters. Kelp forests are foundational and provide critical habitat and food for diverse species\, including commercially\, recreationally\, and culturally valuable species such as salmon\, rockfish\, lingcod\, herring\, prawns and crab. Kelp provides vital ecosystem services\, stabilizing shorelines\, filtering water\, mitigating storm surges\, and capturing large quantities of carbon\, helping to mitigate climate change and counteract ocean acidification. \nJoin Lee-Ann Ennis as she tells her inspiring story of cultivating kelp for fish habitat and restoration projects. With a background studying marine science at UVic\, and Bamfield Marine Science Centre\, Lee-Ann had picked up experience cultivating red seaweeds for agar\, the most common phycocolloid used as gelling agents in the food\, biotech and cosmetic industries. Lee-Ann rekindled her passion for seaweed science when she witnessed first hand the disappearance of kelp on the Sunshine Coast. She realized how truly important kelp are as habitat for a wide range of fish and invertebrate species\, serving as resting\, foraging and essential nursery grounds. It occurred to her that by cultivating kelp\, she could actually make a tangible difference for quite a few million fish. Lee-Ann has been busy ever since and will share her story that may inspire the next generation of restoration\, feeding hope and resilience back into kelp forests and the community. \nFree \nRegister for a Free Festival Pass to Receive Online Event Links

SUMMARY:Free Herring Curtain Demonstration (Mission Park\, Davis Bay)
DESCRIPTION:Come and learn about Herring Curtains and why they are Important for Pacific Herring survival \nWe will demonstrate the construction of a herring curtain and explain why such curtains are important to the Pacific Herring.  There will be extra materials on hand for participants to help make a herring curtain\, and these will be stored for usage next spring during spawning season. \nMaking a herring curtain is easy\, it’s quick and it’s important for the survival and revival of the pacific herring species! We cordially invite you to come see for yourself how you can help bring back the numbers of pacific herring in the Salish Sea! \nAbout Margie Garrard \nMargie Garrard is a Rotarian and a dedicated environmentalist. For the past few years she and her team of Rotarians have hung herring curtains off docks during spawning season to provide temporary safe habitat because of the loss of natural habitat for spawning fish due to pollution and climate change. Drawing on research done by other groups\, Rotary teams are trained to clean and check these curtains weekly\, so that predators such as starfish and urchins don’t devour the herring roe on the curtains. After the roe have hatched in a few weeks\, and made their way off to sea\, the curtains are pulled\, cleaned\, repaired\, dried and stored till next spawn season!
