SIGN THE PETITION TO SAVE LELU ISLAND (bottom link): Dr. Patrick McLaren is a geologist and a leader in the field of sediment transport and sedimentation dynamics. He is working to analyze the sedimentary processes associated with the waters surrounding Prince Rupert and particularly Flora Bank, an area of critical importance to the salmon populations of the Skeena River it is possible that Flora Bank is held in place in part by high energy waves which restore any sand which migrates off the bank. If that dynamic is in fact taking place, the trellis docking structure of Petronas’ new design could severely reduce the incoming wave energy enabling sand from the bank to migrate seawards resulting in the gradual deterioration of this important habitat. Furthermore, reduction of energy levels might favour the deposition of mud on the bank reducing the ability for eel grass to grow. westcoastnativenews/environmentalists-worry-that-petronas-lng-project-new-design-will-still-have-serious-impacts-on-flora-bank/ Petition below: savelelu.ca/
