To Nova Scotia BOFEP Members and Supporters
The government of Nova Scotia is currently taking submissions regarding the Coastal Protection Act which was passed in 2019 but not proclaimed.
The survey is asking for Nova Scotia property owners to submit ideas, thoughts, and comments. As residents of a maritime environment where it is impossible to be more than 67km from the coast; we all have an interest in this process.
Our coastline is our joy – so many of us have seen it change over the years – community spots removed, or blocked, erosion, pollution, wildlife decline and disappearance, human intervention, and weather events that shift everything in a few hours – we are all affected. There is no shame in wanting to walk a beach and protect the abundance of life under your
toes, in the sky above, or the land and sea that surrounds us. We are asking residents of Nova Scotia who receive the BOFEP newsletter– regardless of property ownership – to fill out the survey. We hope you will advocate for strong protections, responsible usage, protected areas, and living shorelines.
The survey can be found at https://novascotia.ca/climate-change-coastal-protection- consultation/ https://novascotia.ca/climate-change-coastal-protection- consultation/
Or through coastalconsultation@novascotia.ca
Submissions will be accepted until November 7 th , 2023.
