‘ESSENCE OF THE SEA’<br />
Many of the ocean’s treasures are hidden<br />
from view underwater or in remote areas,<br />
making it difficult to see the reality of<br />
this complex ecosystem. Therefore, Living<br />
Oceans Society is working with over 40<br />
artists who are interested in creating a portal<br />
into the soul of the ocean. Artists and<br />
photographers have created artistic images<br />
that capture the richness of the ocean in 5<br />
conservation hotspots identified in the<br />
group’s Marine Protected Area campaign.<br />
Other artists have worked from underwater<br />
photography to create their interpretations.<br />
The artistic images will highlight the<br />
need for us to take steps to protect our<br />
ocean now for future generations.<br />
Participating artists include Robert<br />
Bateman, Mark Hobson and Bill Helin.<br />
There will be a travelling art show and a<br />
variety of art products will be available. The<br />
art will sell through silent, on-line auction<br />
(www.livingoceans.org). The art will also be<br />
available for viewing in Vancouver, Victoria<br />
and Campbell River.<br />

THWAYTES LANDING<br />
Thwaytes Landing is one of the last remaining,<br />
residentially-zoned, large<br />
oceanfront properties remaining in BC’s<br />
Lower Mainland. Located in Indian Arm, it<br />
is accessible only by water. Now this property<br />
is becoming the Greater Vancouver<br />
Regional District (GVRD)’s newest park.<br />
Both the GVRD and the District of North<br />
Vancouver have contributed $500,000 each,<br />
two-thirds of the $1.5 million purchase price.<br />
Now it’s up to The Land Conservancy of BC<br />
(TLC) and the Pacific Parklands Foundation<br />
to raise the remaining $500,000 by January<br />
2004. Please make a donation to The Land<br />
Conservancy of BC to ensure that this wonderful<br />
property will be protected. All donors<br />
receive a Canadian tax receipt.<br />
130 acres, with 1,100 meters of shoreline,<br />
and located mid-way up Indian Arm, it will<br />
be a great campsite in time. Currently there<br />
are no facilities. Until a management plan is<br />
completed, paddlers and boaters may use<br />
the rocky beach as a day-use rest area only.<br />
Avoid the cliffs and respect the caretaker’s<br />
privacy by staying away from the dock and<br />
the other buildings. Build no fires and keep<br />
dogs leashed. TLC The Land Conservancy of<br />
