SUMMARY:Watch Patrick and the Whale
DESCRIPTION:Using stunning underwater footage\, Patrick explores the fascinating nature of the sperm whale\, attempting to shine a light on its intelligence and complexity\, as well as highlighting its current and past relationship with humankind. \n  \nAn inspiring and engaging tale of Patrick Dykstra and a sperm whale “Dolores.” \n  \nFor years\, Patrick Dykstra has dedicated his life to traveling the globe\, following and diving with whales. Over the years\, Patrick has learned how whales see and hear\, how they perceive other creatures in the water and how they behave at close quarters. He has a finely tuned sense and knows how to act when within touching distance of a whale – what to do\, what not to do and when. This allows him to consistently get closer than anyone else alive – a truly unique skill. \n  \nPatrick recently experienced a life-changing event. In Dominica\, he had a close encounter with a female sperm whale. She seemed to be curious about him\, coming within touching distance\, pulsing him with her sonar. She studied him as he studied her. Patrick felt an overwhelming sense that she was genuinely trying to communicate. \n  \nWe follow Patrick as he travels to Dominica again to find this special whale he named “Dolores” so she can help him show us the hidden world of her species. Using stunning underwater footage\, Patrick explores the fascinating nature of the sperm whale\, attempting to shine a light on its intelligence and complexity\, as well as highlighting its current and past relationship with humankind. The film follows his personal journey and explores the psychology of a man who has sacrificed everything in his single-minded quest to connect with and understand one of the the biggest creatures in the ocean. \n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nDetails \n📍 Sunshine Coast Arts Centre \n🗓 Sunday June 2\, 2024 \n⏰️ 7pm (doors at 6:30pm) \n📽 Admission by donation

SUMMARY:Last Day for FLP Public Engagement Survey
DESCRIPTION:A Forest Landscape Plan (FLP) is a new forestry planning tool. \nFLPs will play an important role in changing forest management.\nThey will replace existing Forest Stewardship Plans (FSP). This is significant as FSPs do not consider or coordinate overlapping values or interests. \nFLPs are being developed in collaboration with Indigenous governing bodies and forest licensees. Planning process includes engagement with local communities and new opportunities for public input. \nThe easiest way to get involved is through the FLP Pilot public survey.

SUMMARY:Forage Fish Sampling
DESCRIPTION:In the next few months\, join us as we sample forage fish throughout the Sunshine Coast. \nWhat are forage fish? Forage fish are super-abundant schooling fishes that are the building blocks of the food chain for 100’s of species of birds\, marine mammals\, and fishes. \nWhy do we sample them? The Friends of Forage Fish group on the Sunshine Coast collects spawning data (i.e.\, finding eggs) on the beaches of the Sunshine Coast\, to assess the population status in hopes to see positive signs of spawning.

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!

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
