The department develops programs and delivers services to enhance the protection of the environment, as well as human and animal health. The staff develop legislation, regulations and policies based on sound scientific knowledge and expertise. They educate the public, as well as inspect and enforce regulations to ensure compliance. They also proactively respond to environmental, human and animal health risks. Point Blue advances the conservation of birds, as well as other wildlife and ecosystems through science, partnerships and outreach. Its highest priority is to reduce the impacts of habitat loss, climate change and other environmental threats while promoting nature-based solutions for wildlife and people on land and at sea. The Ocean Exchange is an international platform to accelerate the adoption across industries of solutions that positively affect the environment, economies, and health, while respecting cultures around the world. The Ocean Exchange is the intersection where organizations from around the world advance and promote their cutting-edge solutions and innovations in materials, devices, processes and systems. It has created the knowledge-based catalyst for organizations to achieve corporate social responsibility goals. By connecting innovators and organizations, The Ocean Exchange empowers the successful application of solutions for the greater good. The Canadian Whale Institute (CWI) was formed in 1997 to increase awareness of the North Atlantic right whale, one of the world’s most endangered large whales. CWI promotes stewardship with mariners to reduce the two major factors affecting the whale’s recovery: vessel strikes and entanglement in commercial fishing gear. Its education, research and conservation projects are focused in Canadian waters, including the Bay of Fundy, the Scotian Shelf and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It strives to increase marine mammal awareness through directed programs involving the marine industry, governments and the public. The involvement of the Canadian Whale Institute in research and conservation has played a major role in the ongoing recovery efforts for the North Atlantic right whale in Canadian waters. GREEN MARINE WELCOMES A NEW PARTNER Marine Construction Technologies is a public benefit company that emerged from the University of Washington CoMotion program. Its mission is to develop innovative engineering-driven solutions that provide both environmental and economic benefit to the marine construction industry. Marine Construction Technologies’ PBC’s Reinhall Piles provide a breakthrough in noise mitigation for driving steel piles, resulting in a ~20 dB reduction in peak underwater sound levels. Depending on site-specific conditions, this reduction may result in sounds levels below injury and harassment thresholds for sensitive fish and wildlife.
