Failure of the Assessment Process in dealing with Marine Mammals and Seabirds in the National Energy Board KM/TMX pipeline hearings
The Kinder Morgan /Trans Mountain Expansion project proposal did not in our opinion use data that was up to date when considering the impact of Marine oil transportation on Ecosystems of the Salish Sea. Whale sightings and marine mammal birthing colonies have not been reflected in the data provided...
