Little is being done to address the pollution that’s keeping Indigenous communities from their traditional food sources
The Pauquachin First Nation is calling on municipal, provincial and federal governments to commit to a Healthy Shellfish Initiative with the goal of reopening 80 per cent of closed B.C. shellfish beds by 2027.To restore that right, more than increasing federal testing needs to be done, Chief David said. The roots of coastal pollution need to be addressed.
Washington’s Shellfish Program is now looking at continuing goals. Mr. Berbells said they’re aiming to upgrade at least 200 hectares of shellfish harvesting area a year going forward, based on a three-year rolling average. “It’s when we started looking for the problem, and adding new rules and regulations around farms and around on-site sewage system management and these things, that we started seeing dramatic improvement.”
