Program Title: Terra Informa - Season 8, Episode 47 - Sea Shepherd & Tar Sands Pollution
Description: A new documentary chronicling the life of Sea Shepherd's founder has just been released, titled Eco-Pirate: The Story of Paul Watson. So for anyone who's thinking about seeing the film, we thought we'd give you a little background.
The federal government has just released its proposed environmental monitoring plan for the tar sands. The plan may have been developed in less than a year, but for critics of the industry it has been a long time coming. For years, scientists and environmental groups had heaped criticism on the monitoring systems tasked with overseeing the tar sands industry. Last fall the release of two reports by renowned ecologist Dr. David Schindler marked a tipping point. They clearly linked pollution of the Athabasca watershed to tar sands extraction -- a claim both industry and the Alberta government had long denied.
