  2. Housekeeping Items • Before I introduce our special guest speaker, I want to draw your attention to a couple of items. • The federal government has cut two long-standing programs of great importance to our speaker’s topic today: the Fraser River Estuary Management Program (FREMP) and the Burrard Inlet Environmental Assessment Program (BIEAP). • Next Tuesday, lecture called “Of Whales and Men: Ocean Pollution in the 21st Century.” • The Weather Channel is hosting a teach-in on environ-mental issues on Thursday, March 21st after 7 p.m. • There is a very worthwhile (ultra-short) video on the impact of plastics on marine birds – see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78BQKPssoXM. • On fish issues, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9v-cDwEVDQ.
