 Over 600
citizens rallied together at Indian Point in St Andrews, NB for an event organized
by SOS (Save Ocean Science), a non-partisan citizen’s group. Attendees formed a
large, human SOS to denounce recent federal budget cuts and express support for
environmental science. These cuts will close the St. Andrews Biological Station
Library, eliminate the Contaminants and Toxicology program, and severely cut
the Habitat program. A number of positions are to be eliminated, affecting
local scientists. The aerial SOS was captured from the air by plane and by
bucket truck. Attendees also held signs with slogans including “Save Ocean
Science”, “This is not fiscal responsibility”, “Keep environmental response
team”, “Don’t hijack our future!”, and “Don’t gut fish protection”. |
