    Why does the all public parks and other places to spray for pest control and not farm plant Draganflies insted. They fund ways to kill our wildlife and not preserve it nore protect us humans from these poison gases and other chemicals,? Who is funding these videos? i wonder why they chose to look the other way when so many of us want better for our land. and never inderstood why they have carbon taxes and yet plow through wet lands and destroy wildlife and drinking water and aloud to continue to drain all resources with corporate greed that is holding their pants up and filling their pockets to shut them up. Allowing our natives to have no drinking water or live off of their lands and thrive . This is confusing and frustrating that we have not really looked into who is behind this destruction and hold them more accountable. Pumping gss oil and other resources like there is no tomorrow. So discussing.

    K....whoever edited this needs to really chill out on her music volume when people are talking lol. The music should be subtle; in the background. The people speaking and the information being vocalized is the most important aspect of this video. Without that, there's no video and no point to make one. This edit seems to put the voices/information in the background & has the music playing loudly in the foreground, making it harder to hear what's being said.

    Very interesting approach and a fantastic idea of turning the dredging issue into a habitat solution. I'm curious if boomed silt fencing would reduce the amount of localized turbidity from the dredge infilling and help fines settle in a more localized area of deposition.

    We have a nest with a hen but there isn't any water around that the ducklings could actually walk to. There are 2 whole neighborhood's between us and the nearest irrigation canal, along with fences. Is there a way to help them get there? I'm afraid they wont survive at all.

OUR government is selling us out on the East Coast - email your local government or MPS tell them we need to preserve and protect more of our ecosystems our wildlife and their natural habitats and not sell our lands to millionaires to destroy and build Sky Rises on and pollute our oceans and wetlands - there needs to be a law put in place - stopping humans from building and destroying our wetlands Oceanfront and forests.

    Very nice video and a wonderful pursuit. Wishing you all the best with your endeavours ! Just wanting to point out that the river is named the St. John River and it’s also known as the traditional name Wolastoq. For people to better understand where the river is geographically I think it would be applicable to use the current (since 1604) name that everyone would recognize.
