False Creek, unlike most harbours around the world, has no single entity tasked with oversight and management. Instead, it has a tangle of overlapping jurisdiction between 22 government agencies.

Today's anchor, Zaida Schneider, is joined by a pair of guests: one of whom was at the centre of one of the biggest success stories in urban marine restoration, and the other who has perhaps the deepest insight into the state of False Creek today — to discuss the most pressing issues facing False Creek, and how we can navigate them.

Shelley Luce is currently the Campaigns Director of Sierra Club BC, and was formerly the President and CEO of Heal the Bay: an organization whose work continues to transform the ecology of the Santa Monica Bay near the city of Los Angeles.

Stephen Paetkau is the co-owner and operator of Skookum Yacht Services, and due in part to his work retrieving derelict vessels, has clocked more time underwater in False Creek than anyone else.
