Local environmentalists are using landscape cloth around creosote and treated dock pilings where herring like to lay eggs on.
The herring fry and roe are not dying off anymore and populations are growing again. Orca have been spotted again by the coast guard aux in Howe Sound last week at Watts Point and a large Dolphin population now regularly visits Pam Rocks to feed. Whale sightings are increasing. An old spawning channel has been improved with fresh water flow diverted from a nearby river. It's a cheap easy and good thing to do.

The other success story is the curtailing of the heavy metal drainwater runoff from the old Brittania mine, once a huge copper mine and one of the worst polluters in Canada. Now a popular tourist stop right on the highway. BC Museum of Mining or http://www.bcmm.ca/
Interesting how they filter the water and a popular stop in the summer. Local landmark from the water.

Bad News; these cloth wraps are not a long term solution and suspended baskets around the pilings are being tried now. I was going to delete this thread when I found out, as the eco warriors haven't publicly admitted defeat. Efforts continue to solve this issue, but landscape cloth is not the answer.
Remember when you go to vote in Canada, our government has muzzled scientists and federal employees here[Steven Harper move], they are not allowed to comment to the public or press, outside of official channels. That is wrong.
