Questions surfacing
Questions surfacing There seems to be rumours lately that if the Raven Mine goes through and the resultant Acid Mine Drainage takes affect in Baynes sound that the shellfish industry may have to be shutdown. 600 jobs would be lost. Remember that even though the shellfish fishery survived through the last coal mining days, it was not unscathed. The shellfish from Baynes Sound are already affected by historic mining so Raven, and subsequently Bear if that is put through may put shellfish over the top. No wonder the BC Shellfish Growers Association has taken such a strong stance if that's what they believe.
