Establishing Canada’s first Ocean Plastic Depot in partnership with the Ocean Legacy Foundation was a monumental milestone!<\/p>\n
Our team was chosen to execute the establishment of this first depot because of our attention to detail, commitment to promoting shoreline cleanup initiatives and our diligent project management skills.<\/p>\n
Installation of the Ocean Plastic Depot was made possible through funding from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and serves the qathet region as an educational outlet and consolidation hub for select marine debris. This satellite depot aims to divert marine debris from landfill, encourages local reuse and sends collated material off to be recycled into durable, long lasting new plastic products.<\/p>\n
Collection and diversion of marine debris is a specialty focus for our team.<\/p>\n
We have been leading remote and complex shoreline cleanup projects since the inception of the province’s Clean Coast Clean Waters Initiative 2021.\u00a0 Over the course of 3 years, our team has managed large-scale shoreline cleanup projects in and around the Salish Sea, collecting over 200,000kg of material.<\/p>\n
