Coastal Restoration: The Sturgeon Bank Sediment Enhancement Pilot Project

- The B.C. Fraser River estuary is home to hundreds of millions of out-migrating juvenile salmon who rely upon these brackish ecosystems as they transition to the ocean. Over the past four decades, the Sturgeon Bank tidal marsh has undergone a drastic reduction in area, losing approximately 30 per cent of its original expanse, and this decline raises significant concerns about the future health of the marsh. The Sturgeon Bank Sediment Enhancement Pilot Project in an innovative and customized approach to addressing large-scale tidal marsh loss. Led by Ducks Unlimited Canada, this project leverages new techniques to replenish the marsh’s receding sediment: since 2023, over 15,000 cubic meters-enough to fill six Olympic swimming pools-of sediment has been deposited on the foreshore of Sturgeon Bank - all of it repurposed from local dredging of the Fraser River and a local marina and transported by a 1+km-long temporary pipeline. By strategically depositing material dredged from the Fraser River, the project seeks to simulate natural sedimentation processes, fostering the regeneration of the marsh ecosystem.
The pilot project is possible with funding from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Province of British Columbia, with further support from Tsawwassen First Nation, Raincoast Conservation Foundation, Lower Fraser Fisheries Alliance, Pacific Salmon Foundation, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority and The Nature Force.
excellent thinking, using resources already available.
Great project, glad you are working on this!
👍🔝
Music is BIT loud.
VOLUME Is to LOW! why???
How convenient that dredgers have a place they can dump the polluted soils onto the marsh lands. It's all in the way you sell it.
K....whoever edited this needs to really chill out on her music volume when people are talking lol.
The music should be subtle; in the background. The people speaking and the information being vocalized is the most important aspect of this video. Without that, there's no video and no point to make one. This edit seems to put the voices/information in the background & has the music playing loudly in the foreground, making it harder to hear what's being said.
Strongly agree. Cool video concept, ruined by the edit. Completely alters the focus of the content and misses the point.
