“Fuel Whale Watching”
I work on a wooden schooner traveling the northwest BC rainforest coastline. Proposed oil and gas supertanker routes and pipelines threaten the coast. This photograph is the sign for the marine fuel dock in small town Port McNeil. The sign’s contrasting words illuminate our decisions as a people as we decide what we choose to “fuel”. The current struggle to protect marine life and the health of the BC coast is highlighted in the simple yet meaningful words on this sign.
