Protecting an ocean of ice and snow
With international waters no longer (mostly) lawless thanks to the High Seas Treaty, the world can now protect parts of the open ocean. This is especially critical for the still (mostly) frozen central Arctic Ocean as melting sea ice increases shipping and other industrial activities.

"Other parts of Metro #Vancouver and the Lower Mainland were also drenched, with #Squamish reporting 132 millimetres.
"The #HeavyRain triggered several evacuation orders and alerts in areas including Chemainus Bridge and the Nanaimo Regional District on Vancouver Island, with one evacuation order for a single property near #ParksvilleBC.
"Much of B.C.‘s south coast and Vancouver Island remain under a flood watch, with a flood warning sill in effect for the Englishman River near Parksville.

A #mining company has been #fined close to $221,000 for almost 30 instances of discharging waste into the #environment without authorization in southeastern #BritishColumbia.
On Aug. 8, the #BCMinistryOfEnvironment handed #TeckCoal Ltd. — now operating as #ElkValleyResources — two administrative #penalties based on #WasteDisposal issues over two years at its Elkview operations near #SparwoodBC.
This is not the first time the Elkview #coal mining operations have been penalized for #unauthorized waste disposals. Two years ago, Teck Coal received a penalty of close to $200,000 for several discharges in 2020.
Teck Coal has faced tens of millions of dollars in fines for #contaminating #waterways in B.C. over the years.
It is also now dealing with allegations of dumping harmful substances into waters frequented by fish in the province's southeastern region. #EnvironmentCanada laid five charges against the company in July, and they have not been tested in court.
A court hearing in that matter is scheduled for Oct. 10.
