Environmental Stewardship
Shorefast is committed to a multi-pronged set of initiatives to meet the climate challenge and engender a higher-fidelity relationship with our coastal and oceanic ecosystems.
These initiatives began as the “New Ocean Ethic” program, originally founded and led by Gordon Slade, C.M., with early accomplishments including initiating the province of Newfoundland and Labrador’s first plastic bag ban on Fogo Island, community oil spill preparedness training, fishery innovations like the sustainable “cod pot cod” fishing method, and more.
