Sturgeon Bank Sediment Enhancement - Innovation is key to sustainability of the Fraser River Estuary

Innovation is key when it comes to tidal marsh restoration projects. Over the years, the Fraser River in B.C. has been highly modified through dredging and other human activities, changing its natural processes. As part of the Sturgeon Bank Sediment Enhancement Pilot Project, Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is hoping to reverse some of those impacts through a unique project designed to rebuild tidal marsh resilience and support coastal flood protection. Supporting an abundance of wildlife, the Fraser River Estuary is the last stop for migratory birds on their way to the far north. The largest salmon-bearing river in Canada, it is also one of the most productive bird habitats for migrating waterfowl and shorebirds in the country. Led by DUC and partners, the recent completion of the first phase of the Sturgeon Bank pilot project will benefit fish, wildlife and people who use this important ecosystem. https://www.ducks.ca/places/british-c...
