  • BC earmarking 2M for oceans

The province is earmarking two-million-dollars for projects to help prevent the effects of climate change on B-C's oceans and watersheds.

The new Climate Ready B-C Seafood Program will fund marine carbon removal technologies as well as research and testing into acidification and low oxygen levels in the water.

The program is being delivered by the Ocean Decade Collaborative Centre, a division of Tula Foundation.

Project applications will begin being accepted this summer.
