Petition to Save the Bedford Basin Reef from infill


Few people realize that there is a natural reef and tidal pool on the shores of Bedford Basin in Nova Scotia. This beautiful marine and wildlife habitat will soon be destroyed as part of Bedford's 30 acre infill project to create condominiums in an urbanized waterfront. This includes a substantial reef containing a large inter-tidal zone teeming with marine life. 

Sign the petition to stop the infilling of 30 acres of the Bedford Basin & to request that the Halifax Regional Municipality impose an immediate moratorium on infilling any part of the Halifax Harbour, including the present development of the Bedford Basin Waterfront Development Project.  http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/bedfordbasinreef/Information
Please watch the video  for more information-its shocking to believe this is happening.
