Both orcas and humans make use of the Port of Vancouver, and a Delta event can help these two species to coexist in a way that benefits both.
A July presentation will give those who participate the knowledge they need to ensure that they can make use of the port of Vancouver without having a negative impact in the whales and other marine species that call the location home. Only 74 orcas are believe to still inhabit the area, and the organizers of the event feel that shipping and logistics companies have an important role to play in their survival.
The event will be focused on providing information about the Enhancing Cetacean Habitat and Observation (ECHO) initiative. The attendees will discover how it is working to protect whales, and explain why high underwater noise levels can be detrimental to them. They will also have an opportunity to explore the results of the current research that is being undertaken as part of the ECHO program.
To help make the presentation as accessible to as many as possible, the planners will be offering an afternoon and evening session, and both are free. A brochure printing professional can be counted on to prepare a variety of handouts and other materials to distribute to the attendees in an event like this.
This chance for those who work in the shipping industry to find out how they can lend a helping hand to Delta area orcas has been scheduled today July 24, with sessions at 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm. It will be offered at 5224 Ladner Trunk Road.
