FRESH : Fraser River Estuary Salmon Habitat Restoration Projects

As part of the Fraser River Estuary Salmon Habitat (FRESH) restoration projects, this video highlights two impactful projects in B.C.'s Fraser River Estuary; the North Arm Jetty Breach, and the Sturgeon Bank Sediment Enhancement Pilot Project. The Fraser River Estuary is a complex network of tidal marshes, channels, mudflats, sand flats and eelgrass meadows that spill into the Strait of Georgia. As the largest estuary in B.C., the Fraser River Estuary supports an abundance of wildlife: it is the main artery that feeds biodiversity on B.C.’s West Coast. Millions of waterfowl pass through on their migration journey and stop to winter and feed on the rich variety of insects and plants found in the estuary’s mudflats and tidal marshes. These two projects support the restoration of natural processes, working toward increasing biodiversity and coastal resiliency. FRESH is supported by Raincoast Conservation Foundation, Ducks Unlimited Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Province of British Columbia, Pacific Salmon Foundation, Tsawwassen First Nation, Vancouver Fraser Port Authority and other funders.
