A major issue of transition for the communities of British
Columbia's North Coast is the prospect of offshore oil and gas
exploration.
The economic effects could prove to be significant: it's estimated
that the recoverable oil and gas reserves in the Queen Charlotte Basin
are worth about $100 billion.
At the same time, many residents worry about environmental devastation and point to the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989.
This 27-minute video documentary examines the issue
from both perspectives. It was produced as a companion to UNBC's
research on offshore oil and gas that was conducted through the
Northern Coastal Information and Research Program.
