  • No Trespassing. Private Road. No Parking. These are the signs that are more and more frequently seen along Nova Scotia’s coastline. As Canadians access the shore for recreation, science, or even just to take in the natural beauty of the coast, they are being increasingly met with physical barriers to the beach, few options to park or use public transportation to get to the coast, and problems with litter and marine debris in the areas they can access. Private property ownership dominates Nova Scotia’s coastline, and while the public wants access, property owners also want to enjoy privacy and avoid the degradation of their land. In other words, in a province known as Canada’s Ocean Playground, people are increasingly asking – a playground for who? In Nova Scotia, we have a right to be on the coastline below the high water mark, but no protected right to get there. But should we?

  • Episode 12: The Coastal Conundrum
    2024/09/15

    Less than 6% of Nova Scotia's population owns our coastline. Squeezed between a rapidly changing coastline and the rigidity of an increasingly impermeable wall of private property, Nova Scotia must act now to preserve, maintain, and prioritize coastal access in our province. In this final episode of Right of Way, we talk through the lessons learned in this podcast and hear some listener feedback from the summer.

  • Episode 10: Visited to Death
    2024/08/25

    We've all had the experience of seeing a photo of a beautiful place and thinking, "Wow, I'd like to go there!" But what happens when whole digital cultures develop around visiting natural landscapes in order to get a photo and stake out a piece of it for ourselves? As we lose access to our own coast lines in Nova Scotia, are we recreating the problem of tourism-oriented coastal development in the countries we visit? In this episode, we hear about the benefits and consequences of when treasured coastal spaces are 'liked' to death.

    Special thanks to our guests in this episode, Andre Bourgeois and Andre Joseph-Witzig.

    In this episode you heard from:
    Jamaica Beach Birthright Environment Movement
    Vox "What happens when nature goes viral?"
    AlJazeera "Why Can't Jamaicans Access Their Own Beaches?"
    Grenada Land Actors
    Cape Breton Highlands National Park
