So when I was researching this story and chatting with friends it was interesting how many assumed deep-sea commercial mining was already a thing. It’s not — but could be in less than a year. cbc.ca/news/climate/deep-sea…

Marine collagen is all the rage in anti-aging. What does that mean for fish?
A @CBC article by journalist @lisasj features work by #UTM researcher Azizur Rahman, who is studying the effects of marine collagen on skin aging 🐟 ⌛ bit.ly/4bVdo0Q

one reason we're seeing less political debates around wildfires in british columbia is probably that our three worst wildfires seasons by hectares burned have all happened since 2017 and in one of those years an entire town burned down
tends to focus the mind
I’m not in this now, but I have been in various #BCwildfire years. It’s coincided with the strongest climate grief I’ve personally experienced.
Due to hundreds of uncontrolled wildfires across Canada, New York City looks like a post-apocalyptic hellscape.
If you want a prelude of what the world is going to look like if we do not address man-made climate change — this is it.

Wow.
RDCK Media Release - RDCK postpones Climate Action Open Houses in response to safety concerns. The Board is committed to rescheduling the open houses as soon as possible.
Follow the link for the complete details: rdck.ca/EN/meta/news/news-ar…
On why @RDofCK is postponing climate action open houses: "We value the input from the public and want to ensure all members of the community have a chance to participate without the fear of intimidation."
This comes after the regional district delayed a vote on its Climate Action Plan because of public outcry that more consultation was needed: nelsonstar.com/news/rdck-cli…
So flood and fire season seem to be overlapping in B.C. this spring. I’m listening to rain fall and know our river is rising, but we’re fine so far. Thinking of all packing belongings and sand bags today. #bcstorm #bcwildfires

We are still looking for volunteers to fill sandbags for the community. Head over to KP Park in the Village of Salmo.
Make sure to read the Sandbag Safety for Volunteers Bulletin to know what to bring and what to wear:
