Does anyone on Vancouver Island know who to contact to clean up a shore filled with trash. I picked up what I could but this needs a team and machinery.
There is oyster farm trash, 3 large concrete blocks filled with stirofoam, dozens of spent cartridges, lots of discarded fishing nets, small buoys, hard plastic tubes, plastic tape, cans, etc.
It's on the shore at the end of Wavell Rd, in Fanny Bay.
It's a sensitive habitat for lots of species.
Update: I noticed a midden at that location and, after contacting an archeologist at the K'ómoks First Nation, I learned that it is within a registered archaeological site, so it's protected by provincial legislation and KFN's archaeology permit system. So no digging!
Phase 1: I'm looking for volunteers to pick up trash that is on the surface of the sand and fits in a bucket, next week, day and time to be confirmed. DM me if interested.
Phase 2 will be dealing with larger pieces of trash.
