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.

我们的项目将调查海洋柴油暴露对三种双壳类动物的长期影响，这些双壳类动物发现于海尔图克国家领土内的不列颠哥伦比亚省中部海岸。这些双壳类种群对Heiltsuk社区具有文化、生态和经济重要性。该项目将研究船用柴油暴露对双壳贝类幼体和幼体生存能力沿着成年双壳贝类生殖能力的影响。这项研究的结果将提供有用的见解，a）作为国家调查恢复这一特定渔业的最有效方法，B）作为区域风险保护战略正在制定中，以防止和应对未来的事件，以及c）在更广泛的层面上，促进对海洋柴油污染对近岸环境的持续，长期生态影响的理解。
