League of Women Voters Presents Forum on Increased Vessel Traffic in the Salish Sea
The April Meeting of the League of Women Voters will be held at the SJI Library Conference room on Monday, April 14th from Noon to 2 p.m. Entitled “Island Crossroads: Vessel Traffic, Oils Spills and You,” our speakers will be Shaun Hubbard and Lovel Pratt.
They will talk about the new and expanding fossil fuel terminal and refinery projects in our area which, if completed will lead to a significant increase in commercial vessel traffic in our waters, threatening our marine mammals, water fowl, our economy and our pristine shores.
The meeting is open to the public and islanders are encouraged to come and learn what the projects are, what the risks are and what impact we can try to make on the process as these plans move forward. Join us.
