environment · 2018-09-15 · Denman Island beaches and Baynes Sound

The 14th Annual Community Beach Cleanup organized by the Association for Denman Island Marine Stewards (ADIMS), Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the BC Shellfish Growers Association took place from September 15 to 22, 2018. Over 150 volunteers collected up to 6 tons of plastic debris, mostly from the shellfish industry, from Denman Island beaches and Baynes Sound.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
