IMO Stakeholder Perspectives and Case Studies on Reducing Underwater Radiated Noise. The report finds that effective noise reduction requires a whole-system approach with responsibility shared across regulators, ports, shipowners, classification societies, and Indigenous communities whose rights and knowledge are essential to governance.

Submission for the International Maritime Organization’s Sub-Committee on Pollution Prevention and Response 13th session. This document provides information on biofouling risks pertaining to climate change, food security and cultural loss, marine environmental pollution, including underwater radiated noise and biodiversity loss.

An interview with John Taukäve on sound, shipping, and oceanic leadership. John is a Rotuman and Fijian artist, researcher and advocate, whose work bridges culture and climate leadership. John brings lived experiences of Pacific Island communities, descendants of the world’s most advanced ocean voyagers, into IMO negotiations.

Churchill has the potential to chart an ambitious path for Canada: one that prioritizes people and biodiversity over the economic gain of a few, showing how trade and shipping can be structured around local communities, wildlife, and the environment.

Canada has the opportunity to follow Denmark’s decision to ban the discharge of waste from scrubbers– devicesinstalled on board ships to cut air pollution, and from which toxic effluent is dumped into the marine environment.

As the IMO’s Intersessional Working Group on GHG Emissions from Ships (ISWG-GHG 20) wraps up in London, the Clean Shipping Coalition commends Member States for overcoming last week’s setback and advancing preparations to adopt the Net Zero Framework.

Projected LNG tanker traffic poses serious risks to air quality, underwater soundscape, marine mammals, fragile ecosystems, climate change mitigation, and coastal communities in the Gulf of California.

Transport Canada's announcement of a new approach to protecting BC's endangered southern resident killer whale population may signal a ban on the dumping of scrubber wastewater in coastal waters, but without expanding the ban along all of Canada's coasts, it likely will just push the problem into waters elsewhere.

350 LNG tankers are expected to visit LNG Canada's marine terminal annually, which translates to 700 transits a year in the region. (Originally published by the Vancouver Sun on Jul 05, 2025)

Released during COP28 in Dubai, this report highlights the urgency of addressing the triple planetary crisis - pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss in the context of shipping solutions and impacts.

El tráfico de buques metaneros proyectado representa serios riesgos para la calidad del aire, el paisaje sonoro submarino, los mamíferos marinos, los ecosistemas frágiles, la mitigación del cambio climático y las comunidades costeras en el Golfo de California.

Adjournment of discussions on adoption of Net-Zero Framework at the International Maritime Organization highlights critical need for Canadian leadership.
