The Georgia Basin Ecosystem Initiative is a partnership that provides tools, support and framework for action towards sustainability in the Georgia Basin.
Water supports all life in the Georgia Basin and is a vital component of a complex ecosystem.
The Basin provides essential shoreline and wetland habitat for many species of birds and wildlife. The Basin is also home to human beings who rely on its clean water for drinking and who use it for other domestic purposes and recreational, agricultural and industrial activities. But human activities affect the quality and quantity of water upon which people rely. Protecting the ecosystem from the effects of urban, agricultural and industrial development is vital for all species, including human beings, who live in the Basin. There is still a plentiful supply of good quality water in the Basin and enough time to protect it from pollution.
