This is a wonderful article, exposing the junk science used to justify the infilling of the harbour. It's the money, eh? Dumping fees and the creation of high priced land are irresistible lures for the greedy. "Halifax is its Harbour" says Preserving the Environment of Halifax Harbour - an HRM study of 2001.

Acidification of seawater reduces its capacity to absorb CO2 - just what we need......

Hope this made it to the folks at SaveDartmouthCove

Thanks for the note Warren. I appreciate it. I'm at the point where I feel a little crazy - or at least so far outside the mainstream of thought that it's lonely. This information is available to anyone. And anywhere else in the world this would not be controversial. But here in Halifax... crickets... aside from your note, I've gotten zero uptake on this from media or anyone else. If ever there was something hidden in plain sight this is it.
