Vancouver Club Night – 6000 Year Old Glass Sponge Reefs & Century Old Rockfish

Adam Taylor is a 4th-generation resident of Bowen Island who grew up beachcombing, swimming and fishing the waters of Howe Sound. Join him for an evening discussing his 30 years of scuba diving and conservation projects with Marine Life Sanctuaries Society of BC. Topics will include the discovery, documentation and ‘protection’ of globally unique glass sponge reefs, a new citizen science program monitoring local rockfish populations, and how the boating community can help act as local stewards to protect the waters we all love and enjoy.

Hybrid Meeting Format

In-Person Attendees:

• For those attending in-person, the format will be very much the same as “normal”
• Doors open at 7:00 and meeting starts at 7:30.
• Cost: $5/Members, $10/Non-Members

Virtual Attendees: 

Virtual club nights (via Zoom) have enabled BCA to continue our monthly meetings and presentations throughout the pandemic, with an added bonus of expanding our community to members and non-members across the globe.  With the return to in-person meetings, BCA has continued to provide a virtual component to our club nights as it has significant benefits to our membership. This, however, comes at a cost for the purchase of cameras, audio equipment and the lost revenue due to a decrease of in-person attendance used to off-set venue costs.

Zoom meeting invitation:

• A registration link will be found on the BCA website, and will be sent out in the reminder email prior to the club night.
• Please note that you must be signed in to the BCA website to get the member price.
• Cost: Members – $5.00 per connected device; Non-Members, $10 per connected device.

Note: Due to the small cost of virtual tickets, and an equal or greater cost to BCA of issuing refunds, no refunds will be issued unless Vancouver Chapter is unable to deliver the Club Night via Zoom.
