Resilient Waters reintegrates vital wild salmon habitat by upgrading aging flood control infrastructure along the Lower Fraser River. We are doing this by identifying opportunities where the need to replace infrastructure aligns with important salmon habitats.

​At the beginning of one of the most prolific salmon rivers in the world, over 1,500 kilometers of crucial habitat are blocked by aging floodgates, pumps, and dikes. At the same time, many of these structures need to be upgraded to prepare communities for climate change impacts such as flooding and sea level rise. The loss of salmon and threat of flooding are also leaving communities, and particularly First Nations, vulnerable to loss of food security, socio-economic development, and cultural loss. Resilient Waters hopes to do its part by collaborating with all who are affected to accelerate solutions that benefit salmon, ecosystems, and people.
