Whaling GREAT BEAR SEA, BC, Feb. 29, 2024 /CNW/ - A new report by WWF-Canada uses data on ship speed and waste generated in B.C.
Key Points:
- GREAT BEAR SEA, BC, Feb. 29, 2024 /CNW/ - A new report by WWF-Canada uses data on ship speed and waste generated in B.C.
- The analysis shows that shipping speeds, combined with billions of litres of waste, pose immediate and cumulative risks to species at risk, including fin whales and humpbacks.
- It builds on the data and findings from WWF-Canada's Shipping Traffic and Speed in Cetacean Habitats on Canada's Pacific Coast and National Vessel Dumping Assessment .
- In 2022, an estimated 56 billion litres of waste were generated by commercial ships in the Northern Shelf Bioregion.

Agriculture Stakeholders of all types — from investors to suppliers to customers — are starting to demand that businesses contribute to a healthy natural world.

- Stakeholders of all types — from investors to suppliers to customers — are starting to demand that businesses contribute to a healthy natural world.
- In tandem with urgent decarbonization, it is time for all businesses to act to protect nature.

- Our Action Plan, Business and Biodiversity: Your Company's Path Towards Nature-Positivity, is available at wwf.ca/actionplan
"WWF-Canada is calling for not only the release of the delayed Ocean Noise Strategy, but for one strong enough to deliver meaningful, measurable and urgent action that whales and other species impacted by underwater noise pollution desperately need."
Key Points:
- "WWF-Canada is calling for not only the release of the delayed Ocean Noise Strategy, but for one strong enough to deliver meaningful, measurable and urgent action that whales and other species impacted by underwater noise pollution desperately need."
- To hit the right note, Canada's Ocean Noise Strategy should:
Establish noise limits for activities we know have a negative effect on soundscapes, such as shipping and oil and gas exploration.
- Put in place regulations for ongoing monitoring of noise levels and enforcement of noise limits and reduction targets.
- Without teeth, it's unlikely Canada's Ocean Noise Strategy will help mitigate noise pollution.

Earth Nevertheless, a decision to transition away from fossil fuels is a significant moment.
Key Points:
- Nevertheless, a decision to transition away from fossil fuels is a significant moment.
- After three decades of UN climate negotiations, countries have at last shifted the focus to the polluting fossil fuels driving the climate crisis.
- For a liveable planet we still need a full phase out of all fossil fuels and will continue working towards that.
- Fernanda Carvalho, WWF Global Climate and Energy Policy Lead, said:
"Along with phasing out fossil fuels, nature is integral to effective climate action.
