The South Coast Ship Watch Alliance is a coalition of community groups in the Southern Gulf Islands, Cowichan Bay,

the alarm about bulk freighters anchoring in local waterways and the many negative impacts they are having on
our environment, our homes and our communities.

Southern Gulf Island waterways as a free parking lot for bulk freighters bound for Vancouver terminals.
