Show Notes:
The northern coast is under threat from oil and gas projects and from foreign tankers. If a 30-year moratorium is not maintained, there could be as many as 320 tankers per year travelling up and down the coast.
Local residents and environmental activists are concerned that this amount of traffic could lead to a disastrous spill off a coast that is both too rugged to clean and very sensitive to environmental disturbance. We speak with Will Horter of the Dogwood Initiative. >> get more info
