What we do

---

The first iteration of these collaborations was the “Maritime Spaces” conference in 2020; the event assessed and engaged community members in conversations about environmental and socio-economic conditions of the Chaleur region in New-Brunswick. 

The event was used to identify solutions to ensure ecological sustainability in areas of concern the province.

With the information and engagement derived from these events, REGEN Media and its collaborators were able to measure the level of awareness regarding local issues such as the impact of heavy industry on the environment, the effects of deteriorating regional resilience, as well as the need for additional capacity for community-driven action, leading to real solutions. 

In 2021 REGEN Media was approached by Nature NB to lead the ongoing, multi-year “Healthy Coasts” project in the Chaleur region, as well as collaborate with a team of local NGOs in order to develop and implement a community conservation action plan. 

By working with communities to identify and support activities along the gulf of St. Lawrence, which was designated as a community nominated priority place by Environment and Climate Change Canada in 2021, the project aims to support community livelihoods by encouraging a safe, resilient, and sustainable coastal way of life.  

Through the development and results of these initial projects, it became clear that there is a need for further collaboration with individuals, various levels of government, as well as other organizations to change the narrative in this part of the world.
