| Goal 6: Ensure access to water and sanitation for all | Danika |
Clean, accessible water for all is an essential part of the world we want to live in. There is sufficient fresh water on the planet to achieve this. But due to bad economics or poor infrastructure, every year millions of people, most of them children, die from diseases associated with inadequate water supply, sanitation and hygiene.
By 2050, at least one in four people is likely to live in a country affected by chronic or recurring shortages of fresh water Nov 2nd, 2017 Manage |

Valuing the Aquatic Benefits of British Columbia’s Lower Mainland.

| Powerful Persuasion on the Plastic Problem | Danika |
This lesson incorporates clips from Blue The Film as learning inspiration. In this lesson, students will explore rhetorical devices and their influence over audiences. They will consider ways individuals use language to communicate thoughts and opinions, by watching a short clip featuring perspectives about the impact of plastic. They will further develop their understanding of persuasion by studying the rhetorical devices and how they can be used to engage and persuade audiences. Students apply this knowledge to compare the use of rhetoric in two clip clips about plastic and its impact on the environment and ecosystems. Nov 9th, 2017 Manage |
| RESEARCH REVEALS MICROPLASTICS ENTERING THE FOOD WEB | Danika |
For the first time, there is indisputable evidence that species at the bottom of the food web are mistaking plastic for food. According to a new study by Dr. Peter Ross, head of the Ocean Pollution Research Program at Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre, tiny microscopic animals called zooplankton are ingesting plastic particles at an alarming rate. This could spell trouble for the entire aquatic food web. Nov 9th, 2017 Manage |

| Sitka Field Data Report | Danika |
Monitoring biodiversity in an area can be much simpler with more eyes on the prize. If we train professional divers along with sport divers to hone their identification skills we can build reliable taxonomic databases for any area. We need to teach that small amounts of accurate data are more valuable than large amounts of data that are bloated with guesses. With proper data entry at the end of each dive, a database quickly grows into an important reference for comparison with past, present and future observations. Nov 1st, 2017 Manage |

| The Marine Biodiversity Project | Danika |
Vancouver Aquarium, with the support of Sitka Foundation, is conducting a two-year biological monitoring program called Counting on Howe Sound as part of its commitment to researching and enhancing the health of the Howe Sound ecosystem. This initiative identifies and assesses marine species, while teaching our next generation of taxonomists how to identify the species who call the area home. We use this information to teach students and communities about the amazing natural community under the water right outside of their front doors, and to inspire them to keep learning more about marine biodiversity.

Canada has one-fifth of the world’s freshwater. Thousands of interconnected rivers and lakes across our country provide the essentials of life for people, animals, and ecosystems. Collectively, Canada’s rivers make up 25 major watersheds, each brimming with stories of history, culture, ecology, and economy. Yet, as a country, we are missing an important part of that story. At a national level, we don’t know how healthy our rivers and watersheds are or what threats they currently face. Oct 5th, 2018 Manage |
| Young Champions for Nature Sumit | Danika |
Here are the best practices outcomes from the nature champions summit in Montreal.
Consider these working definitions of meaningful youth engagement from their perspective.
Meaningful youth engagement has three core components:
- Intergenerational collaboration - adults sharing their space and power with young people.
- Giving young people real responsibility - where they can take risks and innovate.
- Integrating learning & doing - viewing young people as having something meaningful to contribute rather than seeing them only as learners.

| Your Questions About Food and Climate Change, Answered How to shop, cook and eat in a warming world. | Danika |
Does what I eat have an effect on climate change?
Yes. The world’s food system is responsible for about one-quarter of the planet-warming greenhouse gases that humans generate each year. That includes raising and harvesting all the plants, animals and animal products we eat — beef, chicken, fish, milk, lentils, kale, corn and more — as well as processing, packaging and shipping food to markets all over the world. If you eat food, you’re part of this system. May 2nd, 2019 Manage |
