Can't stop us from taking care of our ocean!! Last weekend we joined Surfrider Foundation Canada and Emerald Sea Protection Society for a ghost gear cleanup at the Sidney Pier.

This is a highly active fishing site collecting abandoned traps and debris, which can cause serious harm to many species that aggregate under the dock. We released lots of critters back to the sea that may have been trapped and tangled for months or longer! Docks can also act as protective areas for many juvenile species as they grow bigger before they expand their habitat zones, so keeping these places clean and hazard free is really important for the ecosystem!!

Ocean conservation and health is super important to us at Wilsons, thanks to our passionate staff for helping out with this one!! Together with the shore volunteers we removed 247 kilograms of abandoned gear!!

We are so excited to be teaming up with Whites Drywear for an event this Saturday that you won't want to miss! Stay tune...
