Fundy Baykeeper - Defending the Bay of Fundy

BAYKEEPER LOG

14:June 2006

WE'RE BACK! After receiving a little pre-season TLC, the Baykeeper boat is back on the water! She officially launched May 27th at the Royal Kennebecasis Yacht Club, in Saint John. The boat is set to sail out of the Yacht Club for about a month, then we will trailer it to St. Andrews at the beginning of July, where she will tie up for most of the summer. In late August it’s back to Saint John. We will keep you posted on the actual date and time.

BECOME A BAY OF FUNDY STEWARD. See something happening on the shore or water between St. Martin's and the border that you think isn't quite right? Write down all the details, take a picture or video (so there is a visual record of the incident) and then phone the Baykeeper Hotline: 506-650-5849 to report it. Dave will intervene in whatever way is best for the situation.

NATURAL GAS EXPORT PIPELINE. Fundy Baykeeper has been working with Friends of Rockwood Park and other groups in Saint John to oppose the construction of a natural gas export pipeline through the city’s largest green space, Rockwood Park. This pipeline would connect the Irving/Repsol liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and regasification plant with US markets. More...

MARK YOUR CALENDARS. Participate in the 8th annual Musquash Paddle! Join Baykeeper David Thompson for a canoe, kayak or rowboat ride through the Musquash Estuary on Saturday, July 22nd.
