Get the Shell out of the Sacred Headwaters

The moratorium on gas drilling in Sacred Headwaters is set to expire in seven months. At Shell’s recent annual shareholder meeting, the company made clear that it has no plans to withdraw its operations to drill frack for gas in BC’s Sacred Headwaters.

The same effort put forth by the fly trade and others to fight the Pebble Mine should be duplicated to protect the Sacred Headwaters. The threat to the Sacred Headwaters and the Great Bear Rain Forest are as egregious as Pebble is to Bristol Bay. The Sacred Headwaters are the birthplace of the Skeena, Nass, and Stikine Rivers, some of the wildest salmon and steelhead rivers remaining in North America.

This is the same drainage with the newly implemented angling restriction on non BC residents. They want my help so that they can maintain rivers for themselves that I can’t fish. It may be short sighted, but I can’t help but think but if you want broad and worldwide public support, you may need to be a bit more welcoming. Please see the Chum posting dated April 9, 2012.
