VICTORIA - The federal government is taking steps to remove bulk fuel from a vessel that sank in 1968 and is leaking oil off the west coast of Vancouver Island.
Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan says recent results of a technical assessment determined that immediate action is necessary to remove fuel from the vessel in order to protect Nootka Sound.
The Fisheries Department says in a release that in the fall of 2020, the shipwreck was confirmed to be the source of visible sheen on the surface of the water off Bligh Island Provincial Park. ....

Six people were detained on Thursday for breaching the injunction and one was removed from the area with no recommended charges, RCMP said. However, the police are also seeking charges of obstruction for two arrestees, as well as charges of possession of stolen property for two others and a charge of assaulting a police officer and obstruction for another individual.
Protesters have been camped in forested areas between Port Renfrew and Lake Cowichan since August 2020. They have blockaded access to the forest to protect what they say is the last unprotected, intact old-growth forest valley on southern Vancouver Island. ....

Concerns for whales raised over using hydrogen peroxide against sea lice


Grey whales travel from waters off Mexico, where they calve, head north to the Bering and Chukchi seas off Alaska. One group stops off the west coast of Vancouver Island every year to feed.
John Forde of the Whale Centre Tofino has been offering whale-watching trips for close to 40 years, and said the product used by fish farms kills more than sea lice on farmed salmon. It kills small crustaceans, such as crab larvae, which whales rely on in their diet.
“There’s got to be different solutions,” he said Monday.
He’s concerned for the whales and for the whale-watching sector if these huge animals, which can reach 12.5 metre long and weigh up to 35 tonnes, are affected. ....

The dirt on dirt: Building boom ramps up soil dumping in rural areas, causing pushback


It’s a question that’s of increasing concern to both the construction industry and residents of the rural areas where much of the uncontaminated soil or “clean fill” gets dumped on private properties sometimes in such massive amounts that it alters the landscape.
People who moved to Metchosin or Shawnigan Lake or the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area for a more bucolic existence now find themselves dealing with big-city problems like dust, traffic noise and window-rattling vibrations as hundreds of trucks rumble past, loaded with dirt from construction sites in Victoria, Colwood or Langford.
Rural residents worry that all that extra soil will spill onto neighbouring properties, pollute aquifers or clog creeks and streams with silt. ....
