PADDLE BOARDERS: one person or a whole group can cover a lot of shoreline just by getting together in the evening and on the weekend. Here is what one man accomplished.... the 1st media article garnered a massive team of volunteers. A picnic at sunset cemented the team. One lake, with over 200 miles of shoreline was claimed by many paddle boarding teams on a tracking map. When the word spread through social media other friends and family volunteered, collectively cleaning 1,000's of miles of fresh and salt water shorelines. The media articles went viral spreading to Linked In, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram sharing the effectiveness around the world and the constant need to be vigilant to protect the source of 80% of our oxygen.   https://www.castanet.net/news/Vernon/270316/Okanagan-Kal-lakes-are-lot-cleaner-after-lots-of-hard-work https://www.castanet.net/news/Vernon/255916/Lakes-full-of-garbage https://www.castanet.net/news/Vernon/257525/Paddling-picker-gifted-gear
PADDLE BOARDERS please note: Paddle Boarders can see and reach what Volunteers doing shoreline cleanup or monitoring can't see. Dropping a waterproof camera on a secure line into the water will show disgusting garbage... sofa's etc. A Pro Cam 4 camera under a dock shows who used styrofoam illegally for buoyancy. Make note of the address and call the local By-Law office anonymously. Never approach the dock or floating dock owner ! And, if you see By Law infractions on shore follow the same procedure please, note the address and call By Law anonymously. Especially when you see discarded large plastics which the sun and rain/snow will break down into tiny pieces as they inch toward the waterway.

Previously Sunbury Shores Arts and Nature Center 139 Water Street, St. Andrews, NB   Admission by Donation "No Water, No Life. No Blue, No Green" Dr. Sylvia Earle The film, A Plastic Ocean is a feature length documentary that highlights the ecological impacts caused by decades of dependence on single-use, disposable items, particularly plastic.  The persistent nature of plastic waste sets it apart from other forms of pollution. This, combined with our attitudes towards what was once thought of as a cheap, easy and convenient material has triggered an ecological disaster. Filmed in 20 locations around the world over a four year period, researchers, ocean stewards and enthusiasts bring to light the alarming reality of this situation. Truth reveals that beneath the surface of the ocean lies an unfathomable amount of plastic waste that imposes undue suffering and loss of marine life, as well as the destruction of marine habitat.  A Plastic Ocean presents a detailed and haunting visual with never-before-seen footage confirming the magnitude and pervasiveness of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans and uncovers the consequences to human health and well-being. The film declares that the time for change has come.  As a catalyst for this change, the film introduces possible solutions as science, technology and international policy strive to mitigate the problem before the point of no return has been passed.
