Suivi de la pollution

A monitoring program for coastal British Columbia, Canada, Pollution Tracker documents the levels and trends of hundreds of contaminants of concern in mussels and nearshore ocean sediments.

Thousands of pollutants are present in our oceans.

We selected 14 contaminant classes of particular concern to ocean health. The effects of some of these contaminants on marine biota and food webs are well-known. The effects of others are only beginning to be understood. Scroll to learn more about our contaminants of interest.

Ocean Wise is based in the traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We work across Turtle Island and beyond, supporting Indigenous peoples in their vital work on ocean conservation and biodiversity whenever possible or as we are invited to.
