Spirit of the West|Kayaking Tours in BC

As many of you know, the Salmon on the BC coast are facing many different pressures including the negative effects of fish farming, overfishing, pollution, habitat degradation etc. Without the Salmon, the entire coastal ecosystem would be in jeopardy including our beloved Orcas. Instead of sitting at home and getting depressed about the state of the environment and humanities failings, we have decided to do something. While I wish we could all stop what we are doing and campaign full time for the health and wellness of the planet, what we at Spirit of the West can offer right now is support to those who have made it their mission to raise awareness for the issues facing the coast.

Spirit of the West has been a long time supporter of Alexandra Morton a passionate defender of the coast who has been working intensively to find solutions to the current problems with fish farming. She has spent many years fighting for change on the coast and in particular the Broughton Archipelago. Alexandra spends countless hours on the road, meeting with politicians, fish famers, local stakeholders etc to try and make aquiculture sustainable. She does not get paid for her work. All proceeds raised from the raffle of the Johnstone Strait Expedition Kayaking Tour will be given to Alexandra to help support her and her work.
