| Since the beginning of August, the Southern Gulf of St. Lawrence Coalition on Sustainability has been working with the Souris and Area of Branch PEI Wildlife Federation and has developed a system for monitoring coastal zones. This is the first project of its kind for our group and the Coalition is very proud to be a mentor in this process. The Coastal Erosion Monitoring Project is a good start for our group to collect data and make beach profiles. The two sites selected are, one at the cliffs at East Point and the other is in the Little Harbour Beach area. With climate change, coastal storms have become more frequent and stronger. They have a huge impact on coastal areas. This erosion problem is now a problem that can't be ignored. These types of projects will help to better understand the dynamics of these sectors of the Island. | |
Nadine LaPlante from Southern Gulf Coalition, will present in November, a power point presentation developed by the Southern Gulf of St. Lawrence Coalition of Sustainability. They will consult and partner with provincial literacy programs in order to ensure that the content is understandable to the general public. It is hoped that it will motivates local environmental groups to take action toward this problem. Educational materials will also be developed to share with members of the public, in particular, land owners who are often uninformed on proper erosion protection measures.
