Kudos to the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority on the 10th anniversary of the ECHO Program. This initiative has made meaningful strides in reducing the impacts of commercial shipping on at-risk #whales, like the southern resident killer whales. The project is a testament to what can be achieved when diverse expertises come together. 🤝 Green Marine is honored to have several members among the program’s collaborators. 💚🐳
We’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of the ECHO Program, a collaborative initiative to better understand and reduce the impacts of commercial shipping on at-risk whales off our coast. Thank you to the program’s many partners, advisors, and participants who have dedicated their time and effort to support the recovery of endangered killer whales. With your efforts, we’ve made a meaningful difference for at-risk whales off the coast of BC, and we’re excited to continue this work in the years ahead.
