To the editor,
Re: Wrong approach being taken on anchorage issue, Letters, Dec. 14.
The Port of Vancouver should take heed of your previous letter to the editor author’s advice about how to solve the anchorage problem. Root causes should be analyzed and the port should use that information to become more efficient at managing ship traffic and eliminate the southern Gulf Island anchorages altogether. That way marine and fisheries habitats will be better protected, fewer battered whales will wash up on beaches and the port can actually demonstrate it is taking steps to protect the environment.
