One hundred years of industrial activity on Bellingham Bay left a legacy of contaminated sites. Hear from the Department of Ecology, the City of Bellingham, Port of Bellingham and RE Sources’ staff scientists about about how Bellingham’s treasured waterfront is being cleaned up and made into something that works for people, businesses and important wildlife like salmon — plus why *you* are a key part of the process.
Now is as good a time as ever to get involved in the process of remaking these places to benefit our whole community. These sites, known as Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) sites, are in various stages of being cleaned up, so they can once again be accessible to the community (and important aquatic life like young salmon). We’ll talk about:
–Where different sites are at in their cleanup process
–What the waterfront may look like in the future in terms of public spaces, businesses and residential areas
–How habitat restoration plays a role
–How members of the public like you can have your voice heard in the process!
There will also be a Q&A. Registration required. More info at re-sources.org/events.
