CHASE RIVER ESTUARY PARK AND NANAIMO RIVER ESTUARY IS THE LARGEST ESTUARY ON VANCOUVER ISLAND and 5th largest in BC and is currently being MISUSED, ABUSED, and NEGLECTED. 

Estuaries are INCREDIBLY DELICATE AND DIVERSE ECOSYSTEMS that feed our rivers, ocean, animals, organisms, people, and land. THEY RELY ON THE HEALTH AND MAINTENANCE OF CHASE RIVER ESTUARY PARK AND NANAIMO RIVER ESTUARY. 

The land is being ABUSED AND NEGLECTED through large amounts of waste disposal including hazardous waste. The city is taking NO CURRENT ACTION to protect the land. 

THIS IS THE MOST DIVERSE AND ESSENTIAL ECOSYSTEM ON CENTRAL VANCOUVER ISLAND AND WE CALL ON THE PEOPLE, COMMUNITIES OF NANAIMO, VANCOUVER ISLAND AND BEYOND, AND THE CITY OF NANAIMO TO STAND UP, SPEAK UP, SIGN THE PETITION, AND MAKE NECESSARY CHANGE to RESTORE AND PROTECT THE CHASE RIVER ESTUARY PARK on behalf of the NANAIMO RIVER ESTUARY.
