<div>Help Launch the Fraser River Cleanup Vessel
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every year, large amounts of plastic waste, abandoned fishing gear, and other debris travel down the Fraser River and flow into the Salish Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This pollution harms marine life, damages salmon habitat, and spreads along British Columbia’s coastline.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is simple:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stop that pollution before it reaches the ocean.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pacific Waters Foundation is a new nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting British Columbia’s rivers and coastal waters through professional cleanup operations and environmental stewardship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are launching the Fraser River Debris Interception Program, an initiative focused on removing debris from the Fraser River before it spreads across coastal ecosystems.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make this possible, we need a dedicated aluminum cleanup vessel capable of safely collecting debris directly from the water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising $70,000 to purchase and deploy this cleanup vessel, which will allow our team to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• intercept floating debris in the Fraser River
</div>
<div>• remove abandoned fishing gear and nets
</div>
<div>• collect plastics before they reach the Pacific Ocean
</div>
<div>• protect salmon habitat in the Fraser River delta
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Fraser River is the largest salmon river in Canada and one of the most important waterways on the west coast. Unfortunately, it is also a major pathway for pollution entering the ocean.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By removing debris at the mouth of the river, we can stop pollution before it spreads across beaches and coastal ecosystems.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once the vessel is operational, we will launch the Fraser River Debris Interception Pilot Program, with a goal of removing hundreds of tonnes of debris from the river system each year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This pilot program will also help us secure larger environmental grants and corporate partnerships so the program can expand in the future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a new nonprofit, your support will help us launch this initiative and begin protecting British Columbia’s waterways.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution helps.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether it’s $20 or $1,000, your support will help protect BC’s rivers, salmon, and coastline.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together we can stop pollution before it reaches the Pacific Ocean.
