Songhees teaming up with other nations to remove derelict boats

The province has provided $2 million through its Clean Coast, Clean Water Initiative to fund the project, led by the Songhees Development Corporation, Salish Sea Industrial Services and the Dead Boats Disposal Society. Salish Sea Industrial Services is a marine construction business jointly owned by the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations in partnership with the Ralmax Group. It operates a 145-foot barge and 150-tonne crawler crane that lifts boats out of the water and hauls them to home base at Point Hope Maritime on the Upper Harbour, where they are broken down in a containment area. Stainless steel pieces, batteries, hull windows, engines, wood, plastics and hydrocarbons are recycled, and the rest the bulk of it fibreglass is hauled to the landfill.

B C government puts $9 5 million toward removing more than 100 derelict boats

The cleanup projects are being done by the Small Ship Tour Operators Association, the Wilderness Tourism Association, Coastal Restoration Society, Ocean Legacy Foundation and the Songhees Development Corp. with each receiving between $1.5 million and $3.5 million. Heyman told a news conference the project will reduce pollution while creating jobs, and support local communities and Indigenous nations. The Clean Coast, Clean Waters Initiative was created after the government heard through consultation with local governments and individuals in 2019 about concerns over abandoned vessels, mooring buoys, polystyrene foam, aquaculture debris and single-use plastics. Heyman says the program is part of both the CleanBC Plastics Action Plan and the $10-billion COVID-19 response and economic recovery plan.
