Send a postcard to Premier Darrell Dexter urging him to Act for Our Coast Now!- Please take a few minutes to help move coastal management in Nova Scotia forward. Comment on Nova Scotia's draft coastal strategy at: www.gov.ns.ca/coast by November 30! See EAC's comments here.
The Coastal Issues Committee strives to promote an integrated approach to coastal and water resource protection and sustainable coastal communities in Nova Scotia. We address threats to coastal and freshwater resources through research, education, engagement, mobilization, and collaboration.
Please join us on the last Thursday of the month for lively discussions, heated debates, fun activities, and thought provoking speakers. We meet from 5:30 to 7:00 at 2705 Fern Lane, and often have sweets, snacks and drinks to share. Bring your homemade food to share and we will love you forever!
