Beach boys (and girls) unite to give our oceans a break
by GRANT SHILLING
It’s
been a weird week. I’m up in Tofino to catch a few waves… and a dead
sperm whale rolls onto the beach. Next, I notice that a 55-metre
construction crane–taller than the totem pole whose many faces stare
across the water from Opitsat–occupies the spot where the BC Packers
fish plant once stood. The crane, the first ever in Tofino, is part of
the ongoing construction of million-dollar condos by the sea. The
better to view dead sperm whales from, presumably.
