Communication Plan

To better protect the ecological environment of Gitga’at territory and the whales of Kitimat Bay, we hope to share our information with all sectors of society and energy companies. Our investigation and findings will be of great value for protecting the ecological environment of the First Nations Gitga’at territory and the whales of Kitimat Bay. As energy companies such as Enridge and LNG Canada use Kitimat Bay as a tanker route, it has had a very serious impact on the ecological environment of the Gitga’at territory and the whales in Kitimat Bay.

Audience and Stakeholders

The purpose of this blog is to induce the protection of Gitga’at territory and whales from all walks of life through our research on whales in Gitga’at territory. This blog will be oriented to the entire society, hoping to attract more environmentalists through this blog to attract the attention of the government and the Nohhara company. At the same time, there are still many territories where First Nations and whales like Gitga’at live. Through this podcast, it is hoped that people can protect these territories.

The Gitga’at territory has always been the principal living place of the First Nations and the whales, who have lived together here for generations. Through this blog, the biggest stakeholders who promote the importance of protecting the ecological environment of the Gitga’at territory are the First Nations living in the local area, whales and other creatures. The First Nations and whales in Gitga’at territory have always been self-sufficient, depending on the good ecological environment. When the tanker sailed into Kitimat Bay, the ecological environment was destroyed, which had a serious impact on the lives of the First Nations and the whales. At the same time, the second stakeholder of this blog is all human beings. With human activities and development it has caused great damage to the earth’s nature and ecological balance. The earth and nature also responded to people’s activities with many disasters. This blog calls on people to protect the ecological environment as well as to protect people’s own living environment.

Event Action and Research and

Herman and Janiew were actions at the beginning of the incident. They established their whale observatory in Kitimat Bay in the territory of Gitga’at. Herman and Janie have a different division of labour at the Whale Observatory. Herman placed a lot of hydrophones in the water of Kitimat Bay to record the sound of whales and analyze the whale’s mood and state through these sounds. Janie used her camera to record every whale and create ID cards for them. She also has a Kitimat Bay Whale Library. After obtaining a large amount of data, under the leadership of Janie, we started a speech on the environment and whale protection, calling for more people to join us and attract the attention of government organizations and energy companies. At the same time, a patrol team was developed by the First Nations in the Gitga’at territory. They are responsible for protecting the ecological environment of Gitga’at and reducing manufactured damage to the ecosystem.

Through analyzing and integrating whale data, Herman and Janie discovered the environmental pollution of the Kitimat Bay in the Gitga’at territory by the tanker of the energy company. They found that they severely affected the living environment of the whale. The roar of the tanker engine is particularly harsh in the hydrophone. As long as the sound of the tanker appears, there will be no more sound in the water. The only thing that can be heard in the water is the roar of the engine. Secondly, the tanker sailing on the seas of Kitimat Bay can easily injure the whales resting on the water. The pollution of oil tankers is severe for the territory of Gitga’at. The aboriginal people living in Gitga’at do not want to live in a dead-water territory. All their daily lives depend on the gifts of nature.

Conclution

The appearance of tankers of various energy companies in Kitimat Bay has affected the ecological environment of Gitga’at, which seriously affected the First Nations living in the territory of Gitga’at and the whales of Kitimat Bay. After the Cetacea Lab discovered the impact, the First Nations united with the First Nations to start the environmental protection plan of the Gitga’at territory. Cetacea Lab and First Nations hope that through this blog, more people can pay attention to the issue of environmental protection and attract the attention of government organizations and energy companies.
