Our project will investigate the long-term effects of marine diesel exposure on three species of bivalve found on the central coast of British Columbia in the territory of the Heiltsuk Nation. These bivalve populations are of cultural, ecological, and economic importance to the Heiltsuk community. This project will examine the effect of marine diesel exposure on larval and juvenile viability along with the reproductive capacity of adult bivalves. The results of this study will provide insight that will be useful a) as the Nation investigates the most effective approach to the restoration of this specific fishery, b) as regional risk protection strategies are being developed to protect against and respond to future incidents, and c) at a broader level, to advance understanding of persistent, long-term ecological effects of marine diesel pollution to near-shore environments.

我们的项目将调查船用柴油暴露对在 Heiltsuk 国家境内不列颠哥伦比亚省中部海岸发现的三种双壳类动物的长期影响。这些双壳类种群对海尔特苏克社区具有文化、生态和经济重要性。该项目将研究海洋柴油暴露对幼体和幼体生存能力以及成年双壳类繁殖能力的影响。这项研究的结果将提供有用的见解：a）国家调查恢复这一特定渔业的最有效方法，b）正在制定区域风险保护战略以防范和应对未来的事件，以及c) 在更广泛的层面上，加深对船用柴油污染对近岸环境的持续、长期生态影响的了解。
