| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B | GREAT BEAR INSTITUTE - COASTAL BRITISH COLUMBIA - SEPTEMBER 10-19, 2017 THE GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST AND GREAT BEAR SEA TOGETHER FORM ONE OF THE MOST BIOLOGICALLY DIVERSE AND ECOLOGICALLY RICH SYSTEMS ON EARTH. AT MORE THAN 6.4 MILLION HECTARES (~25,000 SQUARE MILES), THE GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST IS ONE OF THE LARGEST REMAINING TRACTS OF UNSPOILED TEMPERATE RAINFOREST LEFT IN THE WORLD, HOME TO VAST STANDS OF PINE, FIR, AND CEDAR, AS WELL AS POPULATIONS OF WOLVES, GRIZZLIES, AND KERMODE OR "SPIRIT" BEARS. JUST OFFSHORE, PACIFIC CURRENTS FUEL A FOOD WEB THAT SUPPORTS WHALES, SEALS, OTTERS, BIRDS AND FISH. HUMANS HAVE SHARED THE BOUNTY OF THIS LAND-SEA INTERFACE FOR MILLENNIA. TODAY, A WIDE VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS AND INTERESTS EXIST ON LAND AND SEA: PROVINCIAL, FEDERAL, AND FIRST NATIONS GOVERNMENTS ARE FINALLY WORKING TOGETHER TO FIND SOLUTIONS THAT CAN SUPPORT COMMUNITIES ECONOMICALLY WHILE PROTECTING PRECIOUS RESOURCES. LOGGING, COMMERCIAL FISHING, OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION EACH HAVE LONG AND COMPLEX HISTORIES IN THE REGION, AND FUTURES IN FLUX. ECOTOURISM, FISHING AND HUNTING ADD ECONOMIC DRIVERS, BUT AT WHAT COST OR BENEFIT TO THE ECOSYSTEM? AND HOW DO SMALL, REMOTE COMMUNITIES, OFTEN ONLY ACCESSIBLE BY FLOAT PLANE OR BOAT, WORK TOGETHER TO ENVISION AND IMPLEMENT A FUTURE FOR THE REGION? IN SEPTEMBER 2017, IJNR TOOK A GROUP OF 13 JOURNALISTS INTO THE GREAT BEAR TO HEAR FROM FIRST NATIONS REPRESENTATIVES AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT THIS COMPLEX INTERPLAY OF CULTURE, ECONOMICS, AND THE NATURAL WORLD. FELLOWS LEARNED FIRST-HAND HOW COASTAL COMMUNITIES SURVIVE AND THRIVE WHILE MANAGING FINITE RESOURCES, CONSERVING DELICATE ECOSYSTEMS, MITIGATING AND ADAPTING TO POTENTIALLY DRAMATIC CHANGES IN THEIR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SYSTEMS, RECLAIMING CULTURAL HERITAGE, AND HOW THOSE FORCES INTERACT. AMONG THE TOPICS WE HEARD ABOUT: - THE HISTORY OF THE GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST AND SEA, AND HOW DISPARATE INTERESTS - INCLUDING THE TIMBER INDUSTRY, NGOS, GOVERNMENTS, AND FIRST NATIONS - CAME TOGETHER IN AN UNPRECEDENTED COLLABORATION TO PROTECT THEM. - THE CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE REGION, AND THE 14,000-YEAR-OLD RELATIONSHIP THAT EXISTS BETWEEN PEOPLE AND PLACE. - WHAT COASTAL ARCHAEOLOGY IS TEACHING US ABOUT BOTH THE PAST AND THE PRESENT. - HOW COASTAL FIRST NATIONS ARE LOGGING THEIR TERRITORIES SUSTAINABLY, BOTH ON THEIR OWN AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER TIMBER COMPANIES. - THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS AND ENVIRONMENTAL TRADE-OFFS OF COMMERCIAL AQUACULTURE, AND A UNIQUE ATTEMPT TO MOVE FISH FARMING INLAND. - THE CHALLENGE OF SUSTAINING FISH POPULATIONS WHEN SCIENCE, FEDERAL POLICY AND FIRST NATION MANAGEMENT APPROACHES DON'T ALIGN. - WHAT'S BEING DONE TO LIMIT THE IMPACTS OF SHIPPING AND MARINE NOISE POLLUTION ON DELICATE ECOSYSTEMS AND SENSITIVE ANIMALS. - HOW SOME COASTAL FIRST NATIONS ARE WORKING TO RECLAIM TRADITIONAL TERRITORIES - AND THE RESOURCES THEY HOLD -- THAT IN SOME CASES WERE FORCIBLY TAKEN FROM THEM. - HOW FIRST NATIONS ARE COLLABORATING WITH SCIENTISTS TO DOCUMENT MARINE, COASTAL AND TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS, AND HOW THOSE SYSTEMS INTERACT. - THE RISE OF ECOTOURISM AND EFFORTS TO ABOLISH TROPHY HUNTING OF BEARS IN THE GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST. - THE UNIQUE HISTORY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA'S FIRST NATIONS AND THE COASTAL GUARDIAN WATCHMEN NETWORK DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE UNCEDED TERRITORIES THEY CALL HOME. UPPER COLORADO RIVER - COLORADO, UTAH & NEW MEXICO - JULY 22-29, 2017 THERE'S AN ADAGE IN THE AMERICAN WEST THAT "WHISKEY IS FOR DRINKING, WATER IS FOR FIGHTING OVER, AND PERHAPS NOWHERE DO THOSE WORDS APPEAR TO RING TRUER THAN IN THE COLORADO RIVER BASIN. THE POSTER CHILD OF AN OVER-ALLOCATED AND EMBATTLED RESOURCE, THE COLORADO PASSES THROUGH SEVEN STATES AND OFFERS SUSTENANCE ON MANY FRONTS: IT PROVIDES WATER FOR MORE THAN 30 MILLION PEOPLE AND A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR NATION'S FOOD SUPPLY. IT'S HOME TO A HANDFUL OF ENDANGERED FISH AND WILDLIFE SPECIES, AND SUPPORTS A $26 BILLION RECREATIONAL ECONOMY ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST. AND YET, DEMAND FOR WATER SO OUTSTRIPS SUPPLY THAT THIS MIGHTY RIVER RUNS DRY MORE THAN 100 MILES BEFORE IT REACHES THE COAST AT THE SEA OF CORTEZ. ONE OF THE MOST HEAVILY MANAGED RIVERS IN THE WORLD, THE COLORADO BEARS LITTLE RESEMBLANCE TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE: MORE THAN 100 DAMS HAVE BEEN BUILT BY THE BUREAU OF RECLAMATION AND THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS FOR THE PURPOSES OF HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY, FLOOD CONTROL, AND STORAGE. AQUEDUCTS, PIPELINES, TUNNELS AND CANALS SHUNT WATER AWAY FROM THE RIVER; AGRICULTURE CONSUMES NEARLY 80 PERCENT OF THE COLORADO'S WATER, WHILE MUNICIPAL NEEDS CLAIM THE REMAINING 20 PERCENT. PREDICTIONS SUGGEST THAT THE FUTURE WILL SEE MORE OF THE SAME. POPULATIONS AND WATER DEMAND ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE, AND SOME SCIENTIFIC MODELS SUGGEST THAT CLIMATE CHANGE WILL LEAD TO SHORTER WINTERS, EARLIER SPRING RUNOFF, AND INCREASED EVAPORATION. DROUGHT WILL EXACERBATE AN ALREADY STRESSED RESOURCE. THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHWEST, ECOSYSTEMS AND ECONOMIES ALIKE HANG IN THE BALANCE. BECAUSE THE COLORADO STRETCHES ACROSS SUCH AN EXTENSIVE SWATH OF THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO COVER THE WHOLE RIVER OVER THE SPAN OF ONE INSTITUTE. SO, WE DECIDED TO DO TWO. IN LATE JULY 2017, WE CONDUCTED AN INSTITUTE THAT EXPLORED THE UPPER COLORADO RIVER, FROM ITS HEADWATERS IN ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK TO THE NORTHERNMOST REACHES OF LAKE POWELL. IN EARLY 2018 WE'LL RETURN TO THE REGION, AND CONTINUE THE JOURNEY DOWNSTREAM ON A SECOND INSTITUTE. DRINKING WATER INSTITUTE - MICHIGAN, OHIO & ONTARIO APRIL 2-8, 2017 LACK OF ACCESS TO CLEAN, SAFE DRINKING WATER IS OFTEN SEEN AS A PROBLEM SUFFERED IN "DEVELOPING" COUNTRIES. RECENT EVENTS IN NORTH AMERICA, HOWEVER, HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THE FACT THAT OUR OWN WATER IS NOT TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED. THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE TO EXPLORE THESE ISSUES THAN THE GREAT LAKES -WHERE 40 MILLION PEOPLE GET DRINKING WATER FROM A BASIN HOLDING ONE-FIFTH OF ALL OF THE WORLD'S AVAILABLE FRESH SURFACE WATER. FROM APRIL 2ND THROUGH THE 8TH, 2017, IJNR TOOK A GROUP OF JOURNALISTS OUT INTO THE FIELD TO SEE HOW SAFE, CLEAN DRINKING WATER IS "MADE AND WHAT ISSUES THREATEN THAT SUPPLY. DURING THIS WEEK-LONG TRIP, PARTICIPATING JOURNALISTS: - TOURED THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IN TOLEDO, OHIO TO LEARN WHAT'S BEING DONE TO PREVENT A FUTURE EVENT LIKE THE 2014 ALGAL BLOOM IN LAKE ERIE THAT CUT OFF THE WATER SUPPLY OF HALF A MILLION PEOPLE. - TRAVELED TO FLINT, MICHIGAN TO TALK WITH RESIDENTS ABOUT HOW THEY'RE DEALING WITH THE AFTERMATH OF THE LEAD CRISIS AND MET CITY AND STATE OFFICIALS TRYING TO RESTORE FAITH IN THE MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM. - SPENT A DAY IN WALKERTON, ONTARIO, WHERE A DEADLY E. COLI OUTBREAK IN 2000 BROUGHT THE ISSUE OF DRINKING WATER SECURITY AND AGRICULTURAL RUNOFF TO THE FRONT PAGE, LEADING TO THE CREATION OF STRICT NEW WATER LAWS AND THE STATE-OF-THE-ART WALKERTON CLEAN WATER CENTRE, WHERE THOUSANDS OF ONTARIO WATER PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO MANAGE THEIR OWN SUPPLY. - SPOKE WITH OFFICIALS IN GUELPH, ONTARIO ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS OVER THE FUTURE OF THEIR PUBLIC DRINKING WATER AQUIFERS AS BOTH THEIR GROWING POPULATION AND PRIVATE WATER-BOTTLING COMPANIES LIKE NESTLE SEEK TO DRAW WATER FROM THE SAME WELLS. - MET WITH MEMBERS OF THE SIX NATIONS OF THE GRAND RIVER RESERVE, TO DISCUSS ONGOING WATER QUALITY ISSUES IMPACTING MANY FIRST NATIONS. - LEARNED HOW NUTRIENT POLLUTION AND A RESULTING "DEAD ZONE" IN LAKE ERIE COMPLICATE THE JOB OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT IN CLEVELAND. - MET SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS WORKING ON THE LATEST CLEAN WATER.
