Race Rocks Marine Protected Area DFO Expenses,
From analysis by Garry Fletcher Feb. 14, 2009. (See full index)

The Initial MPA Advisory Process involving the Race Rocks Advisory Board ended in 2002. Since that time Lester B. Pearson College has continued with the support of the Ecological Reserve at Race Rocks they have assumed since the de-staffing of the Light Station in 1997. They have provided an on site guardian and generated the funds to cover all expenses. BC Parks has cooperated by providing some funds for on-sight infrastructure repair and maintenance.

In the fall of 2009, DFO reconvened the Race Rocks Advisory Board . An Access to Information and Privacy request ( ATIP) was generated by the Ecological Reserve volunteer warden to quantify the costs involved in this process so far. The following are summary graphs generated by extracting information from the ATIP file provided on February 10, 2010.

(It includes all financial reports contained in DFO Pacific's electronic financial reporting system (MRS) under the project code numbers for the Race Rocks MPA designation process (54257 and 93818) and the Bowie Seamount designation process (54262 and 93826), from 1998 to the present (January 15, 2010).  Total 6mb at 142 pages on a pdf file.
