Trudeau announced the next stage of the plan, calling it 2.0 with another two billion dollars in funding set aside for the project. “We will take action to combat emerging threats to marine safety and our ecosystems and strengthen partnerships with indigenous peoples who must be our partners, and in many ways, our leaders, as we move forward to protect these extraordinary ecosystems Trudeau said. The plan also includes the Salish Sea Strategy, which Trudeau said will continue to protect and restore the ecosystem in a way that respects indigenous and treaty rights and traditional knowledge. “It will develop technologies that reduce the effects of underwater noise so that marine mammals can safely communicate with each other and navigate safely in these waters,” Trudeau added.
