Georgia Strait Alliance was founded in 1990 by citizens concerned about increased pollution and damage to the marine habitat of the Strait of Georgia. Rapid population growth, development, and climate change threaten the natural environment and the wildlife that live in the Strait, an area that Parks Canada has called “the most at-risk natural environment in Canada.” As a custodian of the Strait and a positive agent for change, GSA has become a strong voice and leader on topics such as species at risk and marine habitat protection, sewage treatment, open net-cage salmon farming, fossil fuel transport, and water pollution. GSA envisions a future with clean air and water for all beings living in this breathtakingly beautiful region – knowing that a healthy and protected marine environment is good for the economy, communities, and wildlife.
