Originally broadcast Thursday, January 14th, 2016. Co-hosted by the Canadian Freshwater Alliance and Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition

In May 2015, the Lax Kw'alaams First Nation unanimously voted against the Pacific NorthWest liquified fracked gas plant proposed for Lelu Island in the Skeena River estuary, near Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The $11-billion facility would cause significant damage to Flora Bank, a rare and sandy eelgrass bed adjacent to Lelu that is vital habitat for the second largest salmon run in Canada, and would impact the Skeena salmon commercial and sport fisheries which generate more than $110 million for the region every year. Northern BC First Nations leaders, environmental organizations, scientists, businesses, unions, university groups, and faith groups from across the province are all working together to oppose this project.

This free webinar took a behind-the-scenes look at alliance-building and the science behind the risk of LNG projects in British Columbia, and how we can come together as a freshwater community to support initiatives for freshwater protection in other parts of the province!

This webinar is part of the Canadian Freshwater Alliance's "Fresh Ideas" series which highlights success stories and innovative ideas in freshwater protection and advocacy across the country. Hosted with the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition.

With Special Guests:

+ Sm'ooyget Yahaan, Hereditary Chief of the Gitwilgyoots, one of the nine allied tribes of Lax Kw'alaams First Nation on the north coast of British Columbia
+ Dr. Jonathan Moore, Liber Ero Chair in Coastal Science and Management and Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences and Resource and Management - Simon Fraser University
+ Des Nobels, Northern Outreach Coordinator - T. Buck Suzuki Environmental Foundation and former commercial fisherman
+ Shannon McPhail, Executive Director - Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition
