Today on my walk, i found this white substance dripping out of the land based sewage pipe – that feeds into the ocean. I have contacted DFO, Sierra Club and the Regional District to see if they might know what it is.
Added Nov 24 : Capital District took samples and determined it was paint, however they are unable to find the source since it could be coming from anywhere. At the shoreline thrives much intertidal life as well as sea birds and pinnipeds. It is obvious there is not enough education about runoff and waste management laws are being violated and our health impacted.
I missed this but someone also told me that the NEW VI TV did a short segment on the paint run off as well. This makes me feel very happy to see that something is being done about situations like this. Broadcasting education is our biggest hope.
Sierra club Victoria will use the photographs in runoff educational campaigns.
