Green Shores®: A Multi-Faceted Tool in the Coastal Resilience ToolboxThis lunchtime webinar will explore the impacts of human development, including habitat loss and pollution, combined with climate change challenges that are negatively affecting the health of shoreline ecosystems and the ecological services flowing from them. Green Shores® is an initiative of the Stewardship Centre for British Columbia (SCBC) with the broad objective of increasing capacity to address impacts of shoreline development, including climate change, on shoreline ecology, and human well-being. Using an adaptive management approach, Green Shores builds local capacity to implement nature-based solutions by providing shoreline design standards, project certification, education and training, incentives to homeowners, and by providing support to communities through a Local Government Working Group. In this presentation, DG Blair will provide an overview of the Green Shores program, including lessons learned and recommended next steps for action in the Maritimes and across Canada. |

Potential Endocrine Disrupting Effects of Microplastics in Human Placenta and Aquatic LifeThis webinar features two scientists who research the endocrine-disrupting effects of microplastics. Imari Walker, a PhD candidate (anticipated thesis defense 11/2021) at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering, will discuss her research on how EDCs are released from plastic debris into seabird and fish gastric fluid, and the estrogenic effects of these chemicals. She uses various tools including non-targeted analysis, suspect screening, and in vivo assays to quantify and predict the risk of these chemicals and determine causal contaminants promoting the estrogenic effects. The title of her talk is, “Characterization of endocrine-disrupting chemicals released into simulated gastric fluid utilizing non-targeted analysis coupled with in vitro bioassays.” |
