TyPlan facilitated the approval process with the Port Authroity and the Navigation Protection Program of Transport Canada to enable the Raincoast Conservation Foundation the ability to undertake an estuary connectively study.
Restoring estuary connectivity on the delta of the Fraser River estuary
Recipient: Raincoast Conservation Foundation
Project goal: The aim of this project is to improve habitat connectivity and natural processes on the banks of the Fraser estuary. This will be achieved by addressing historically constructed flow control structures that present physical barriers to estuarine processes and limit juvenile fish migration.
These activities will directly benefit juvenile chinook and other Pacific salmon species, as well as many other species which rely on the estuary. Better access throughout the Fraser estuary will potentially improve early marine survival for Pacific salmon.
