DESCRIPTION:Electric Ferries Nova Scotia - Friday February 10\, 2023\, 12 p
 m PST – Live Stream Seattle Washington\n\n“As a coastal province locat
 ed on Canada’s east coast\, Nova Scotia is facing a climate emergency. I
 n 2021\, NS committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by 53% b
 elow 2005 levels and to be net zero by 2050. In fall 2022\, NS released it
 s climate plan\, with action items to get the province ‘off oil\, off co
 al\, and off gas’. Significant portions of the provincial economy are ti
 ed to the ocean sector\, including fishing\, aquaculture\, international s
 hipping\, ocean tech research and development\, and transportation. This r
 epresents a significant opportunity for GHG reductions by marine electrifi
 cation\, and economic benefits tied to this new technology. One of the fir
 st projects under development in the province now is a new passenger ferry
  route in the capital city of Halifax as part of the public transit system
 . Krista will provide an overview of the current status of this project\,
