This stand for coastal ecosystems happens all over the world and was started in Florida as a response to the Gulf Oil Spill. There are multiple locations in BC and Canada.

The aim of Hands Across The Sand is simple: joining hands sends a powerful visual message of solidarity to world leaders. People are unified in the defense of the air they breathe, the water they drink, and the food they consume from dirty energy sources. Joining hands in this way means supporting clean energy solutions.
